Electronic registered mail is governed by the European eIDAS regulation (Articles 43 and 44), which gives it a <strong>legal presumption<\/strong> of integrity, identification of the parties, and accuracy of the date. This presumption is recognised across all 27 EU member states.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>What happens if the recipient does not sign the acknowledgement of receipt?<\/h3>\n    <p>The document is not transmitted and the procedure expires automatically after <strong>15 days<\/strong>. You retain the proof of sending (qualified electronic timestamp). During these 15 days, 3 automatic reminders (every 4 days) are sent to the recipient.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>Do I need new credits or a specific subscription?<\/h3>\n    <p>No. Electronic registered mail uses the <strong>same prepaid credits<\/strong> as your electronic signatures. If you already have credits in your account, you can send a registered mail immediately.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>Is postal registered mail still required in some cases?<\/h3>\n    <p>Yes. Certain judicial or administrative procedures still require postal registered mail in some countries. It is also the only option if your recipient does not have an email address. If in doubt, you can opt for a <strong>dual sending<\/strong> (electronic + postal) for maximum coverage.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"content-section\">\n    <h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n    <ul class=\"key-points\">\n      <li><strong>New service, same platform:<\/strong> Electronic registered mail is available now from your e-Signature.eu dashboard, using your existing credits.
