PKI, digital trust and electronic signatures in Romania

Romania is rapidly embracing digital transformation to modernise processes across industries. As digital trust becomes the foundation for secure and efficient operations, organisations in Romania increasingly rely on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and electronic signature solutions.

These technologies enable businesses and governments to secure sensitive data, simplify workflows, and comply with Romania’s legal requirements for digital transactions. Ascertia stands at the forefront, offering cutting-edge solutions that empower Romanian organisations to establish trust and efficiency in every digital transaction.

Electronic and digital signature laws and regulations in Romania

Romania is committed to fostering a secure and innovative digital ecosystem, with electronic signatures playing a central role in modernising workflows and enhancing trust in online transactions.

Ascertia’s products fully comply with Romania’s legal framework, ensuring your digital processes meet all necessary standards for validity and security.

Romania’s PKI, data privacy and electronic signature regulations and laws:

  • eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014): As a member of the European Union, Romania follows the eIDAS Regulation, which establishes the legal framework for electronic signatures across EU member states. It recognises three types of signatures:
    • Basic Electronic Signature (BES): Suitable for informal agreements
    • Advanced Electronic Signature (AES): Provides enhanced security with signer authentication and encryption
    • Qualified Electronic Signature (QES): The most secure option, equivalent to a handwritten signature and legally binding for official documents
  • Romanian Civil Code (Codul Civil): Under the Civil Code, electronic contracts and documents signed with QES are legally enforceable, provided they meet the written form requirements specified by law.
  • Law No. 455/2001 on Electronic Signatures: This law governs the use of electronic signatures in Romania, establishing their legal validity and providing guidelines for their application. It complements eIDAS by detailing local requirements for electronic trust services.
  • GDPR: Romanian businesses must adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the handling of personal data in digital transactions, ensuring privacy and security in all operations.
*The laws represented are correct at the time of writing.
