Until quite recently, the law stipulated that a statement or document could only be acknowledged, verified or made under oath with a handwritten signature. This was done to safeguard authenticity, and provide the necessary proof in the event of a legal dispute.

But with today’s rapidly developing business environment and innovative advancements in technology, it’s possible to achieve the same level of trust and authenticity with a few simple computer keystrokes.

LAWtrust was the first accredited authentication service provider in South Africa, and remains the only private company accredited under the requirements of the Electronic Communications Act of 2002 to provide advanced electronic signature (AeSign) solutions.

LAWtrust’s signature solutions allow your business to reap substantial benefits through the savings on time, courier costs, data capture errors and the potential for fraud in paper processes.
