For a few years now, electronic signatures have been widely used to sign contracts and other documents. The time is now for digital signatures. Indeed, this new technology brings many beneficial changes in the business world. However, it is still a practice that is not well known by some. However, the electronic signature API has the same legal effects as the handwritten signature. For the legal recognition, it is the eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) which states the rules to be respected in this matter. The best tool on the market is YOUSIGN, a 100% French brand, easy to use.

The electronic signature

First, you need to know what an electronic signature API is. It is an Application Programming Interface, which comes from the English, "Application Programming Interface". In short, it consists of a dematerialization of documents to move to electronic archiving. The archived document can be digitally signed and the Yousign eSignature API is used to protect the documents and the signature. The ANSSI, the French National Agency for Information Systems Security, is in charge of controlling electronic signatures in France. In short, everything is legal as the handwritten signature. This system is used by banks or insurance companies, by real estate agencies for lease contracts, by companies for work contracts.
