For many legal agreements a simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS is appropriate. Documents that require a notarial deed, such as a mortgage deed, go through a civil-law notary and fall outside BuiltSign.

Questions about e-signing for legal
- Yes. Engagement letters and many client agreements can be signed with a simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS. BuiltSign records the signing process in an audit trail.
- Yes. All documents and signatures are stored on EU infrastructure, ensuring GDPR compliance without configuration.
- Yes. Add signers in any sequence, each party receives their link only when it is their turn to sign.
- Documents that require a notarial deed (for example real property transfers and certain corporate acts) go through a civil-law notary; a QES alone does not replace that. Where the law prescribes a qualified signature, you need a QES from a qualified trust service provider. BuiltSign currently offers SES and SES+.
