Legalidad de la firma electrónica en Portugal
Como miembro de la Unión Europea, Portugal se adhiere al Reglamento (UE) nº 910/2014, también llamado eIDAS, que regula la identificación electrónica y los servicios de confianza. Esta ley se introdujo en 2014 y entró plenamente en vigor en 2016. Supervisa el uso de la firma electrónica.
eIDAS recognizes three types of signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). A QES has the most stringent standards, requiring a certificate issued by a qualified signature creation device.
Various Portuguese laws also regulate the use of e-signatures, including Decree-Law No. 12/2021, which manages implementation of eIDAS; Decree-Law No. 7/2004, which governs e-commerce; and Decree-Law No. 28/2019, which manages electronic invoice rules.
Work with a legal professional to ensure you’re following all relevant e-signature laws and regulations.
