Digital signature for SingPass users to sign legal documents
A digital signature feature was launched on the SingPass mobile app on Thursday (Nov 5) to provide "greater convenience" in legal documentation signing, said the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech).
Dubbed “Sign with SingPass”, the service will enable more than 2.1 million users to sign digital documents in less than two minutes, said GovTech in a media release.
This "will be useful for organisations and their customers with the increasing prevalence of online transactions" as the COVID-19 pandemic has made physical signing of documents more challenging, it added.
GovTech said this feature will be piloted "in the coming weeks" for the digital signing of property caveats lodged electronically with the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
