Hello,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I understand that want to know if DocuSign is valid in China.

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.

Hello Christopher,

Your answer is not responsive to the question.

Please review the requirements of Article 18 of the Electronic Signature Law of the People's Republic of China.

Is DocuSign recognized by the Chinese government as an authorized electronic verification service?

Hello Christopher,

I'm not asking for legal advice. I'm asking whether DocuSign has received formal certification for operation in China? If you don't have it, then your signature service is not valid for use in China.
