E-signature legality in Slovenia
Slovenija
Slovenia recognises e-signatures under eIDAS and ZEISZ.
The law in plain language
Slovenia's Electronic Identification and Trust Services Act (ZEISZ, 2018) implements eIDAS. Electronic signatures are admissible in Slovenian courts.
- Primary framework
- eIDAS + Zakon o elektronski identifikaciji in storitvah zaupanja (ZEISZ)
- National act
- ZEISZ (Electronic Identification and Trust Services Act), 2018
Signature tiers recognised in {country}
Slovenia recognises the three eIDAS-aligned tiers. The right tier depends on the contract — most B2B documents are fine with SES; AES adds an identity-binding factor; QES carries the legal force of a handwritten signature for documents that require written form.
The baseline — admissible as evidence in court. Suitable for everyday commercial contracts.
SES + a second factor (typically SMS) that uniquely binds the signature to the signer.
AES + a qualified certificate from a Qualified Trust Service Provider. Equivalent to a wet signature.
