DocuSign's Electronic Signature Technology: Legality and Benefits in Malaysia

Electronic signature technology has become increasingly popular as businesses worldwide continue to shift towards digitalisation. DocuSign is one of the leading providers of electronic signature solutions, and its technology is now widely used in Malaysia. However, many businesses in Malaysia still need to learn about the legality of electronic signatures and whether they can be used to replace traditional handwritten signatures. This article will explore the legality of DocuSign’s electronic signature technology in Malaysia and how it can help businesses streamline their operations and improve efficiency.

 

The Legal Framework for Electronic Signatures in Malaysia

In Malaysia, electronic signatures are governed by the Digital Signature Act 1997. This act provides a legal framework for using digital signatures and electronic transactions, including electronic signatures created with solutions such as DocuSign. The act defines a digital signature as an electronic signature verified by a digital signature certificate. A licensed certification authority issues the certificate, which contains information about the signatory’s identity and the public key used to create the digital signature.

Under the act, electronic signatures are given the same legal status as traditional handwritten signatures. This means that electronic signatures are legally binding and can be used to sign any document that requires a signature, including contracts, agreements, and other legal documents. The act also specifies the requirements for creating and verifying digital signatures, ensuring that they are secure and tamper-proof.
