Electronic signature on billo.ge
Last updated: 18 May 2026
This page explains what the electronic signature feature means on this platform and its legal context at an informational level. This is not legal advice – for important contracts, consult a lawyer.
1. What the platform offers
You can create a signature image by typing (in a chosen font loaded by the browser) or by drawing (on a canvas) and insert it into the invoice PDF. It is a practical tool for placing the issuer's visual mark on a document.
2. What this feature is not
- It is not a qualified electronic signature within the meaning of Georgian law (which is usually tied to certified devices, a card or special infrastructure);
- it is not a full service of a separate “electronic signature provider” with a public key infrastructure for user identity;
- it does not guarantee acceptance by third parties (e.g. a bank or a court) – this depends on the specific situation.
3. Legal framework in Georgia (general)
Georgia has the Law “On Electronic Documents and Electronic Trust Services” and related acts that set the rules for electronic documents, signatures and trust services. In general, an electronic document can have legal significance, but its “weight” depends on the type of document, the parties and the authority where the document is checked.
The platform's feature is closer to the practical use of a simple/standard electronic signature than to a qualified signature.
4. What we store technically (audit record)
When an authorised user downloads a PDF and the invoice contains a signature, the system may create a record that includes (with limited length where necessary):
- the user's account identifier and email string (a snapshot at that moment);
- the company name and internal ID;
- the invoice number;
- a hash of the document content (a unique “fingerprint” – not the full PDF text in this record, but a hash to confirm whether the content has changed);
- a hash of the signature image;
- the time (server time);
- the IP address and User-Agent string;
- the version of the consent text (e.g.
v1).
This information serves an audit purpose – who requested the document, when and in what context. It is not a guarantee of full identity verification (the IP may belong to a VPN, a shared office IP, etc.).
5. Hash and document integrity
A cryptographic hash makes it possible to check later whether the content is the same as it was when the PDF was generated. If the file changes, the hash will differ. This does not automatically mean that the PDF is always stored in full on the server – what is stored is what your history and database contain according to the product logic.
6. Your responsibility
- Make sure that the signatory is authorised to act on behalf of the company (director, authorised person, self-employed, etc.);
- send the PDF to the client through a channel you trust;
- for important transactions, consider consulting a lawyer or using a specialised e-signature service.
7. The other party and evidence
If a client or partner doubts the authenticity of the signature or document, the record and the PDF together can be used as supporting evidence, but the final assessment belongs to a court or another authority. billo.ge does not guarantee any legal conclusion.
8. Comparison with other platforms
Other commercial services may have their own legal opinions, certificates and infrastructure. billo.ge is independent – this page describes only our technical and product approach.
