Gesetzliche Regelung von E-Signaturen in Luxemburg
Luxemburg ist Mitglied der Europäischen Union. E-Signaturen in Luxemburg unterliegen daher der Verordnung (EU) Nr. 910/2014, auch eIDAS genannt, die elektronische Identifizierung und Vertrauensdienste abdeckt und 2016 vollständig in Kraft trat. eIDAS hat einen standardisierten Rechtsrahmen für E-Signaturen und andere damit verbundene Dienste in allen EU-Mitgliedstaaten entwickelt.
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.
