Q: By signing here, are the documents valid in Mexico?

Dec 8, 2024A: Hello omar915,
In Mexico, electronic signatures are governed by the Código de Comercio (Commerce Code) and the Ley de Firma Electrónica Avanzada (Advanced Electronic Signature Law, FIEL).
Both laws recognize the validity of electronic signatures as long as they meet specific criteria, such as authenticity, integrity, and consent.
Simple Electronic Signature (SES):
These include signatures created with tools like BreezeDoc, which are generally valid if both parties agree to use them and they are linked to the signer (e.g., via email or other identifying information).
BreezeDoc and similar tools are valid for most agreements in Mexico under the Commerce Code.
However, for highly formal transactions, an Advanced Electronic Signature may be necessary.
We recommend that you always evaluate the type of document you are sending and consult legal advice if you're unsure!
With kind regards,
