Lack of trust in electronic services makes consumers, businesses and public authorities hesitate to carry out transactions electronically. To enhance trust in electronic transactions within the country Georgia has provided a common foundation for secure electronic interaction between citizens, businesses and public authorities with the new law on Electronic Documents and Electronic Trust Services, which sets forth the legal grounds for using electronic documents, electronic signatures and electronic trust services, thereby increasing the effectiveness of public and private online services, electronic business and electronic commerce for Its citizens and holders of Residence Cards. Electronic signatures make it possible to sign contracts and other documents electronically from any place in the world, which shall have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature and evidentiary effects, are granted during administrative or court proceedings. Electronic documents become more widespread in the country and for some applications, only electronic documents are admissible. For example while contacting Revenue Service to call for bids. Our experts shall provide exhaustive information on electronic documents and signatures in order to ensure our clients sign documents that are valid, as well as help with applying for electronic signatures/seals and their integration into computer systems.
