Question
How to lodge e-signed ASIC forms via email?
Answer
ASIC support the use of electronic signatures on forms.
Electronic signatures can be used on ASIC forms in the approved PDF form.
Where an electronic signature is used in place of a handwritten signature, it must either be:
- physically signed on a touchscreen device (e.g. by a stylus or finger), or
- an image of the person’s handwritten signature digitally inserted.
Electronic signatures cannot be used on documents that are attached to ASIC Forms if the document is:
- a document that must be certified as a true copy, or
- a solemn document such as an affidavit or statutory declaration signed in a jurisdiction where the law does not allow electronic signing.
Handwritten and electronic signatures are accepted for forms submitted by mail, and where a form is lodged by email as provided in the list of forms that can be lodged by email below.
You may use various digital methods available that support electronic signature.
