No commitment and no monthly plan. You pay 5 € only when you send an envelope — suited to individuals and small businesses that sign occasionally.
Simple electronic signature
A signature with legal effect under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS), articles 3.10 and 25.1, with verification by one-time code.
Timestamping and sealing
Every document is timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority and cryptographically sealed: integrity you can demonstrate in a dispute.
Bilingual evidence file
A readable PDF in French and English, plus structured JSON. Published SHA-256 digests that anyone can verify independently — no need to ask us.
10-year archiving
Signed documents stay available for 10 years, organised by envelope. Deletion on request at any time.
Data hosted in the EU
Documents encrypted and stored in France, accessible only through short-lived private links.
How it works
- Upload your document (lease, quote, contract…) as a PDF.
- Add the signatories and place the signature fields.
- Pay 5 € and send: each signatory gets a personal link and signs after entering a one-time code.
- Once signed, the sealed document is emailed to every party and archived for 10 years in your account.
Before you choose
Electronic signature law works differently depending on where your document is governed: some countries define signature tiers, others ask only that the method be as reliable as appropriate. Our guide sets out what a court actually asks when a signature is disputed, and which documents stay on paper everywhere.
What makes an electronic signature valid? Evidence, not labels
Signing from outside France
The service is operated from France under the eIDAS Regulation, and nothing prevents a signatory abroad from using it. Whether the signature satisfies the law that governs your document is a separate question, and it depends on the country and on the type of document.
Across the European Union. eIDAS settles one
question everywhere in the EU: an electronic signature cannot be denied legal effect, or
refused as evidence in legal proceedings, merely because it is electronic or because it is
not a qualified signature. That is Article 25(1) of the Regulation, and the protection
applies whatever the tier — so it applies to ours.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, Article 25(1) — checked August 2026
It settles nothing else. Whether your type of document may be signed electronically at all, and at which tier, remains national law, and it genuinely differs. Where a member state prescribes written form and allows electronic form to replace it only with a qualified signature, our simple tier does not substitute for it. That is why the table below names countries one by one, with a source and a date, instead of naming a bloc.
Below is what we have actually checked, with the source and the date. We deliberately publish only verified entries: a vague claim covering a whole group of countries would be worth nothing to you the day it is challenged.
| Country | What the law requires | What we provide | What we do not cover there |
|---|---|---|---|
| France | An electronic document carries the same probative force as paper, and an electronic
signature is admitted provided it identifies its author and guarantees the integrity of
the act. The presumption of reliability is reserved for qualified signatures. Civil Code articles 1366 and 1367; Decree No 2017-1416 of 28 September 2017 — checked August 2026 |
The simple tier, with the evidence file that the reliability assessment actually examines, since the presumption does not apply at this tier. | Holograph wills, authentic instruments, and any act requiring a notary. Acts subject to a handwritten wording requirement on pain of nullity. |
| Germany | German law has three form requirements, and everything turns on
which one applies. By default there is none. Where a statute requires text form,
no signature at all is needed: a readable declaration on a durable medium naming its
author suffices. Where a statute requires written form, only a qualified
signature can replace it. § 126a and § 126b BGB; § 550 and § 578 BGB for leases; § 623 BGB for termination of employment — checked August 2026 |
The simple tier, which covers the many contracts German law leaves free of form and also satisfies text form. Since 1 January 2025, that includes commercial leases of more than one year, which moved from written form to text form. | Acts subject to written form, and chiefly the residential lease of more than one year. The sanction there is not nullity: the lease stands but is deemed concluded for an indefinite period, so the fixed term becomes unenforceable. Termination of employment goes further still — electronic form is expressly excluded, so a hand-signed paper document remains mandatory. |
| New Zealand | Open, technology-neutral model. No signature tiers. The signature must adequately
identify the signatory, indicate their approval, and be as reliable as is appropriate
for the purpose. Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 — checked August 2026 |
Identification by personal link and one-time code, full chronology, and integrity demonstrated by published digests. Since there are no tiers, the evidence file is what the reliability test actually looks at. | Instruments excluded from the Act, and anything requiring a witness, an oath or a statutory declaration. |
| Australia | Technology-neutral. The recipient must consent to transacting electronically, and
the method must be as reliable as appropriate in the circumstances. Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and state equivalents; exemptions in the Electronic Transactions Regulations 2020 — checked August 2026 |
Same evidence file. Consent is established by the signatory choosing to open the link and enter the code, which the chronology records. | Transactions exempted by the Regulations, and documents governed by state law that require a witness. |
| United Kingdom | UK eIDAS, retained after Brexit, keeps the same three tiers as the EU, plus
admissibility under the Electronic Communications Act 2000. UK eIDAS Regulation (ICO guidance); ECA 2000 s.7 — checked August 2026 |
The simple tier, exactly as in the EU, with the same evidence file. | Deeds, which require a witness. And HM Land Registry does not generally accept electronically signed documents for registrable transactions. |
| Ireland | An EU member state, so eIDAS applies directly, alongside the Electronic Commerce
Act 2000. Electronic Commerce Act 2000; Application of sections 12 to 23 to Registered Land Regulations 2022 (S.I. No. 55/2022) — checked August 2026 |
The simple tier, identical to France. | Unregistered title, still outside the scope of the Act. Wills, affidavits and documents requiring a witness. |
Other countries. We have not checked their form requirements, so we do not claim anything about them. Inside the EU, the admissibility rule above still applies, because it comes from the Regulation and not from national law — but admissibility is a floor, not an assurance that your document may be signed this way. Two situations recur and are worth knowing: some countries only recognise signatures produced through locally licensed certification authorities, which excludes us there; and almost everywhere, certain documents are outside electronic signature regimes altogether — wills, affidavits, land transfers, notarial acts.
If your country is not listed, ask us at contact@legal-signature.com and we will check before you commit, rather than after.
On signature tiers. We provide the simple electronic signature and say so plainly. The advanced tier of article 26 requires verifying the signatory against an identity document and issuing them a signature certificate under their sole control — neither of which we do. Where an advanced or qualified signature is required, use a provider on the EU trusted list. Our guide to the three eIDAS tiers is in French for now.
