E-signature Legality in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a member of the European Union. E-signatures in Luxembourg are therefore governed by Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014, or eIDAS, which covers electronic identification and trust services and went into full effect in 2016. eIDAS developed a standardized legal framework for e-signatures and other associated services across all EU member states.

eIDAS recognizes three types of e-signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Each signature type has different requirements and may be suitable for different situations.

As the most secure and stringent of the three, the QES can be considered a valid substitute for a handwritten signature under appropriate conditions.

In 2020, Luxembourg amended its 2000 Law on E-Commerce to ensure its compatibility with eIDAS and manage eIDAS’s applications. The Luxembourg Civil Code also has provisions applying to electronic signatures.

Talk to a legal professional to ensure you’re meeting all appropriate e-signature requirements.
