The Russian government postponed the transition of companies to a new electronic signature format, from January 1 to September 1, 2023. This is the second time that the timeline has been delayed, the transition was supposed to start in 2022.
In the government apparatus, the delay was explained by the level of commercial readiness, reports RBC with reference to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Two years ago, amendments to the law “On electronic signature” were adopted. They will come into force in phases in 2021-2022. The final stage, a mandatory transition to a new format for the use of electronic signatures by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, was scheduled for January 1, 2022.
In October 2021, the final step was postponed until January 1, 2023. A transitional period for the use of machine reading powers has been in place since this year.
It was assumed that from January 2022, employees of companies signing documents will have to attach their electronic signature as a natural person, as well as a machine-readable power of attorney, but they will not be able to use the electronic signature of the organization.
