Public administration should not have to wait for a signature

Institutional agility

Minutes, memos and reports stop going from office to office in search of signatures: each signer receives their own link and signs in the established order, from their own office.

Transparency and auditing

Every signature is recorded: who signed, when and in what order. The complete audit certificate travels with the document, ready for internal audits or the court of accounts.

Verifiable documents

Documents sealed with the AATL certificate are verified in Adobe: any institution or citizen confirms their authenticity in seconds, from Acrobat.

What your institution can sign with FirmaHoy

Each country regulates by law which acts a public institution may sign with an electronic signature and which require a qualified signature — also called certified, advanced or accredited depending on the country.

The difference lies in the certificate. At FirmaHoy, documents are signed with the Adobe AATL certificate assigned to FirmaHoy as a platform, and each signer's identity is recorded in the audit certificate: who signed, how they authenticated, when and from where. In a qualified or certified signature, the certificate is personal: it is issued in the name of the person signing, after verifying their identity with their ID document and, frequently, through biometric means such as video identification, via a state-accredited provider.

What FirmaHoy offers

Electronic signature with an Adobe AATL certificate, the international standard that any PDF reader validates: document hash, timestamp and full traceability of every signature. It is the right signature for the administrative work your country's law allows to be signed electronically.

What FirmaHoy does not offer

The qualified or certified signature with in-person or biometric identity verification, issued by an accredited provider. For the acts your law reserves for that signature, the formal channel remains.

A point of reference FirmaHoy signs with an Adobe AATL certificate, the commercial standard used to sign contracts around the world. Adobe is a United States company, where electronic signatures are governed by the ESIGN Act. Under this law there are no signature levels — electronic, certified or qualified — and an electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten one. That same technical foundation backs every document signed in FirmaHoy; what changes from one country to another is which public acts admit it.

How to confirm it

  1. Locate your country's electronic signature law and its regulations; almost all of them expressly distinguish between electronic signature and qualified or certified signature. Our Signature Types guide (in the main menu) explains those categories and how they compare with international standards.
  2. Identify which of your institution's acts require the qualified signature — usually those with special formalities or effects on third parties — and which admit an electronic signature: correspondence, minutes, reports and internal procedures are the usual case.
  3. Validate it with your legal counsel. And if in doubt, write to us: we will tell you frankly where FirmaHoy fits and where it does not.
