For electronic filing with the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), the signature used must be recognized for the specific registration procedure and be technically verifiable. The founding agreement, articles of association, or another declaration should be in its final form before it is signed. Each required signatory must sign the document using their own valid signature. The signature data must make it possible to clearly identify the person signing. The names and identification details in the document must match the information in the registration application. Subsequent changes to the signed document may invalidate the signature verification and require the document to be signed again. Before filing, therefore, the signature status, certificate data, document version, and all attachments should be checked. A mere scan or inserted image of a signature does not provide the same technical verifiability as a verifiable electronic signature. The electronic format also does not replace the need to ensure that the founding documents are substantively consistent with the articles of association, ownership details, management, and representation.
Electronic Signature of Founding Documents for Company Registration
Founding documents can be signed electronically for company registration in Georgia if the signature used reliably verifies the signer's identity and that the document has not been altered. An inserted image file of a handwritten signature does not automatically meet these requirements.
