Still spending hours shuffling papers, printing documents, or waiting for signatures? In today’s fast-paced digital world, traditional paperwork slows businesses down. But in Sri Lanka, a major shift is already happening—and it’s backed by law.

Thanks to the Electronic Transactions Act No. 19 of 2006, amended in 2017, eSignatures are legally valid and recognized just like handwritten signatures. That means faster approvals, smoother workflows, and less paper clutter.

And leading the way is Evia Sign, Sri Lanka’s secure, compliant, and easy-to-use eSignature platform.

Let’s explore why eSignatures are becoming essential for modern businesses—and why Evia Sign is the perfect fit.

What Makes eSignatures a Big Deal?

An eSignature is essentially your digital handshake—official, intentional, and legally recognized.

Under Sri Lankan law, an electronic signature is valid when:

• The signer wants to sign
• Their identity can be verified
• The method used is reliable

This means contracts, agreements, approvals, and acknowledgments can now happen online—in minutes, not days.

However, some documents still require handwritten signatures. (More on that later.)
