Legalidad de la firma electrónica en Bélgica
Bélgica es miembro de la Unión Europea y se adhiere al Reglamento (UE) nº 910/2014, también denominado eIDAS, que se introdujo en 2014 y entró plenamente en vigor en 2016.
eIDAS governs electronic identification and trust services across the European Union, ensuring a uniform approach to issues of authentication and digital identity across borders.
eIDAS recognizes three types of e-signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Each type of signature has different requirements.
QES, which has to be created by a qualified signature provider and must be backed by a qualified certificate, is the most secure and can be considered equivalent to a handwritten signature.
Belgium’s Economic Code and Civil Code have provisions managing the implementation of eIDAS and governing circumstances relating to e-signatures.
Consult a legal professional to ensure you’re meeting the requirements of relevant regulations and laws.
