Digital Signatures
A digital signature used by APEGA licensed professionals confirms their civic identity and professional designation at the time of signing. It serves as proof that the signer has the right to practise in the province of Alberta, in addition to ensuring the integrity of the signed documents and preventing their falsification.
APEGA digital signatures are administered by Notarius, who is the only digital signature provider that meets all of APEGA's requirements.
