The eIDAS Regulation, which took effect in September 2014, became mandatory across EU Member States in 2018. The impetus for the law was to create a single digital market. <strong>In terms of the validity of electronic signatures in other European countries, therefore, one can rest assured of their security.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What about the UK?<\/strong> As of the passing of Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the EU; therefore, it is not subject to the eIDAS rules. That said, before its definitive exit from Europe, the UK did pass a regulation which nearly mirrors eIDAS.<strong> Following Brexit, electronic signatures issued in accordance with eIDAS rules continue to be accepted and binding in the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Electronic signatures outside the EU<\/h3>\n<p>The world certainly doesn&#8217;t start and end with Europe. Are electronic signatures considered binding internationally? That is, after all, where the remote-signing option would be most useful.<br \/>The answer is somewhat obvious: <strong>every country outside the EU has its own rules and regulations.<\/strong> The number of countries passing laws permitting electronic signatures grows every year. <strong>The recommendation<\/strong>, therefore, is to find out the rules applicable in the country where the transaction is going to take place, and then b<strong>olster the validity of the signatures using a local Certification Authorities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of internationalisation, <strong>Intesa offers a signature integrated with DocuSign<\/strong>, currently in <strong>use in 180 countries<\/strong>, through a platform that supports 43 languages, making it easy to use on an international level.
