Is autosign legally valid?

A very good and important question that we get asked a lot when presenting our electronic signature solution.

We did our research and talked to laywers. Our answer:

Yes! autosign is legally valid for documents like

✅ service orders

✅ invoices

✅ rental agreements for vehicles

✅ tire handover receipts

✅ vehicle handover documents

✅ and more!

Some background information

Most documents (like those mentioned above) can be signed with a simple signature on a mobile device because they are subject to what is known as “form of contract”. This means that, according to the law, it is up to the contracting parties to decide in what form they record their agreement, and there are no special requirements for the electronic signature. Therefore, autosign can be used in a legally secure manner for these documents!

There are a few exceptions to the principle of form of contract, for example, for agreements with serious consequences (real estate purchases, wills…). Requirements for form can arise from national law or an agreement.

If you are not sure we recommend making a list of documents, you want to digitally sign and get in contact with us!
