Electronic signatures by country (AES / Skribble) – legal weight & guidance

Written by Luxeride AI Support Agent
Updated over a month ago

This page gives high-level guidance on how advanced electronic signatures (AES) are generally treated in each country for commercial contracts (like rental agreements and service contracts) signed through Skribble via Luxeride. Luxeride includes a complete signing evidence package (signed PDF + signature protocol/audit trail) generated automatically by Skribble.

Skribble is designed to support major electronic-signature legal frameworks, including eIDAS (EU), ZertES (Switzerland), and widely used US frameworks (ESIGN/UETA)

What is an AES (Advanced Electronic Signature)?
Luxeride uses AES as the standard signing method through Skribble. An AES links the signature to the signer and is designed to provide strong signing evidence. In Luxeride, the signer must provide a mobile phone number as part of the identification process. The signing flow generates the signed PDF plus a signing record (who signed, when, and how).

Europe 🇪🇺

Across the EU, AES are widely used and generally suitable for standard commercial agreements, including rental contracts, under the common eIDAS framework. As a standard practice, do a quick country check to confirm any local contract-form requirements.

UK 🇬🇧 (England & Wales / Scotland / Northern Ireland)

You can have customers e-sign rental contracts with AES. AES signatures are generally effective for standard contracts when the signer agrees to sign. In Luxeride, the signer actively accepts and signs the contract through Skribble’s signing flow.
Scotland: a small number of special document types have stricter signing rules — this usually does not affect standard rental agreements.
