Docusign in China
We would also like to know whether it is technically possible to sign documents with Docusign anywhere in China.
I read reports that “the great firewall” could be an obstacle. Is there a solution for this issue ?
Hi
The People's Republic of China (“PRC”) enacted the Electronic Signature Law ("ESL") in 2004, with significant revisions following in 2015 and 2019. The ESL states that the legal effect of a document shall not be denied because the form of electronic signature has been adopted so long as the parties agree to the use of electronic signatures (ESL, article 3). The PRC Human Resources and Social Security Department released the Circular on Issues relating to Signing Electronic Employment Agreement in March 2020.
