We have tried to compile a comprehensive list of
the world's esignature legislation. A lot of the documents shown below are
English translations of the original document and, therefore, are not legally
submissable. We will keep this page as up-to-date as possible but Steadlands
accepts no responsibility if an esignature law changes from that listed here. |

For a PDF version of a country's laws, acts, or
bills regarding ecommerce, esignatures or etransactions, click the flag for that
country below. This will open in a new window. If the country has more than one
law, act or bill in place, you will be taken to a separate page where these are
listed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of the legislation listed is based on
the UN's Commission on International Trade Law's (UNCITRAL) Model Law on
eCommerce. |
