What is an e-Signature and Why is it Necessary?
An electronic signature (e-signature) is a digital signing method that holds legal validity equivalent to a wet signature under the Electronic Signature Law No. 5070. It is created with a qualified electronic certificate and provided by Electronic Certificate Service Providers (ESHS) authorized by the BTK (Information and Communication Technologies Authority). e-Signatures are used in contracts, e-Government transactions, tax declarations, invoice approvals, and many other official or commercial processes. As of 2026, with the acceleration of digital transformation, the use of e-signatures is becoming mandatory.
