Electronic signature testing procedure

The electronic signature testing procedure is a safe way to streamline processes related to the flow of documents that need to be signed electronically. Reducing operational costs and efficient time management are the main advantages of this useful and indispensable tool for the digitalization of institutional processes. Verifying an electronic signature is a very important step that a user, natural or legal person, who uses the respective electronic signature must take.

The procedure is intended for verifying the qualified electronic signature, issued by trusted service providers.

At the level of the Member States, the EU eIDAS Regulation no. 910/2014 establishes that a qualified electronic signature has the equivalent legal effect of a handwritten signature, being enforceable against the parties.

In Romania, the use of electronic signatures is regulated by Law no. 208 of July 21, 2021 for the approval of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 36/2021 on the use of advanced electronic signature or qualified electronic signature, accompanied by electronic time stamp or qualified electronic time stamp and the qualified electronic seal of the employer in the field of labor relations, and for the amendment and completion of some normative acts
