There are no critical exceptions to the law.
Russian law recognizes electronic signatures as legal, admissible and enforceable when the parties explicitly agree to use them. However, for enforceable digital signatures, Russia requires that one use a certificate and service provider that has been certified by the Russian government.
Summary of law
Russian courts have held that a signature may not be denied validity simply because it is electronic. However, to be clearly enforceable, digital signatures must be exchanged through a government-certified, specialized service provider that acts as an electronic courier in order to enable electronic document exchange.
