Digital Signatures

Your official signature and security seal in the electronic world!

Overview

In today’s world, it is practically impossible to practice a profession without relying on information technology (e.g. word processing, spreadsheets, computer-assisted drafting, etc.). As such, granting the same legal value to electronic documents as to paper, while remaining compliant with Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Manitoba (APEGM) requirements, has become a key challenge.

With a digital signature, APEGM members can digitally sign plans, specifications and other commonly used documents. Digital signatures provide irrefutable proof of authorship for electronic documents by confirming your identity as author and member in good standing with APEGM. Furthermore, they help protect document integrity.
