Sign documents without going to the notary? Bill seeks to make it a reality

▤ Summary

The article describes a Chilean bill that would let people and businesses complete certain notary-required procedures fully online with legal validity. The proposal adds time-stamp and advanced time-stamp functions to electronic signatures so documents can be verified without in-person notary intervention in specific cases. It aims to cut transaction costs, reduce waiting times, and simplify legal processes for SMEs and e-commerce. The government says Chile already has the technology infrastructure needed to support the shift without weakening legal protections.
