Odoo Sign legality in Peru
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||

|
||
electronic signatures in Peru.
|
||
|
||
Legal framework for electronic signatures in Peru
|
||
=================================================
|
||
|
||
In Peru, electronic signatures are regulated under the `Peruvian Civil Code, Law 27269 – Law of
|
||
Digital Signatures and Certificates <https://webfiles-sc1.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/npoconnect/content/resources/attachments/peru-law-295-civil-code.pdf>`_,
|
||
`Supreme Decree N° 052-2008-PCM – Regulation of the Law of Digital Signatures and Certificates <https://www.gob.pe/institucion/pcm/normas-legales/292462-052-2008-pcm>`_.
|
||
The law establishes the legal basis for acknowledging electronic records, contracts, and digital
|
||
signatures. The key points of the law include:
|
||
|
||
- **Legal recognition**: electronic signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures if
|
||
they meet certain criteria.
|
||
- **Reliability and security**: electronic signatures must be created with a secure method that can
|
||
reliably identify the signatory and ensure the integrity of the signed document.
|
||
- **Digital signatures generated with the official electronic signature infrastructure**: digital
|
||
signature generated using a digital certificate supplied by a provider accredited as such by the
|
||
National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property.
|
||
|
||
