Accelerate Digital Agreements with Fast & Secure Signing Software

According eIDAS Regulation, there are three types of digital signature: simple digital signature, advanced digital signature and qualified digital signature.

Simple Digital Signature

A digital signature is defined as “data in electronic form which is attached to or logically associated with other data in electronic form and which is used by the signatory to sign”. As simple as writing your name under an e-mail might constitute an electronic signature.

Advanced Digital Signature

An advanced digital signature is a signature which is additionally:

• uniquely linked to and capable of identifying the signatory;
• created in a way that allows the signatory to retain control;
• linked to the document in a way that any subsequent change of the data is detectable.

Qualified Digital Signatures

A qualified digital signature is an advanced digital signature which is additionally:

• created by a qualified signature creation device;
• and is based on a qualified certificate for electronic signatures.

Qualified certificates for digital signatures are provided by (public and private) providers which have been granted a qualified status by a national competent authority as indicated in the national ‘trusted lists’ of the state. Many providers of qualified certificates will deliver the corresponding private key on a qualified signature creation device.

While platforms like DocuSign, PandaDoc, and SignWell are well-known globally, Mekari Sign is the only platform tailored for Southeast Asian and global compliance.

• Global Competitors: Great for general e-signatures, but often lack integration with Indonesia’s e-Meterai (Stamp Duty) and local e-KYC systems.
• Mekari Sign: Offers the same AATL Global Standard as the international providers, plus built-in regional compliance (Indonesia’s CA PSrE), making us the superior choice for businesses operating in or with Indonesia.

Mekari Sign supports signing a wide range of documents, including contracts, agreements, invoices, financial documents, legal letters, government forms, and PDF files. It is suitable for individual and business needs across various industries.

Yes. For global context, digital signatures that are valid are the ones holding the global Certification Authorities, such as Adobe approved Trust List (AATL). For local context, the digital signatures issued by certified electronic certification provider (PSrE) like Mekari Sign is legally valid and recognized under the Indonesian Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law.

As long as your digital certificate is valid with your private key kept secure, your digital signature cannot be forged. So there’s a possibility, but very, very small. Digital signatures are equipped with many layers of advanced security and authentication.
