Requirements and opportunity for a reliable certification process

Italy was the first nation to truly encourage the use of electronic documents by public and private organizations, requiring the sending of certain fiscal documents in a digital format to the controlling authorities and promoting in numerous ways the production and presentation of documents in a digital format.

This regulatory scenario offers interesting optimization opportunities for document management procedures, even more readily achievable with the support of the notarial certification.

Indeed, thanks to this new technology, notaries, who use the eWitness service, are capable of issuing certification, not only regarding the storage of data (as the Italian law expressly sets forth) but are also capable of issuing certification in relation to the generation and sending of data processing documents.
