フランスにおける電子サインの合法性
フランスはEU加盟国であり、そのためフランスにおける電子サインは、デジタルID管理、認証、信頼サービスを欧州連合全体で監視する2014年規則（EU）第910号、通称eIDASによって規制されています。
eIDAS includes three types of digital signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Each type has different requirements. QES is the most secure and can be considered an acceptable alternative to handwritten signatures under certain conditions.
France’s Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB) and Trust Services Act (Vertrauensdienstegesetz, VDG) also have provisions governing e-signatures and managing implementation of eIDAS. Written forms are sometimes required, depending on the type of contract, but electronic forms can replace them if they meet certain conditions and provide qualified electronic signatures.
In addition to eIDAS, France’s Civil Code and Decree N° 2017-1416 govern the conditions under which an e-signature is considered valid and outline requirements for devices, software, and service providers that issue e-signatures.
Consult a legal professional to ensure you’re meeting all relevant laws and requirements.
