Is a signature by email or online legally valid?

BuiltSign places a simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS and records the signing process with verification data, timestamps and a document hash. Such a signature may not be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely because it is electronic, and under Dutch law it can have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature if the method is sufficiently reliable for the purpose and circumstances. Documents that legally require a notarial deed, such as real estate transfers, still require a notary.

Frequently asked questions about digital signing

As a rule, yes. Under the European eIDAS regulation an electronic signature may not be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely because it is electronic, and under article 3:15a of the Dutch Civil Code it can have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature if the method is sufficiently reliable. BuiltSign also records a full audit trail with timestamp, IP address and email verification, so you can show who signed and when.
In practice both terms are used for the same thing: signing a document online without pen and paper. Legally, the eIDAS regulation defines electronic signatures at three levels: simple (SES), advanced (AES) and qualified (QES).
Upload the document to BuiltSign, place a signature field and sign with your mouse, finger or a typed signature. If someone else needs to sign, send them a signing link.
