Our workflow handles sequential signatures (president first, then board) or parallel (all members present at GA). Compatible with general assemblies of more than 100 members.
An association under the 1901 law faces several evidentiary challenges: demonstrating compliance of the declaration at the prefecture, proving the regularity of a GA in case of internal dispute, justifying the use of subsidies before the auditor or local authority.
Certyneo delivers for each signature an audit certificate integrated into the PDF, which compiles technical evidence:
This body of evidence meets the requirements of art. 1366 of the Civil Code and is accepted by prefectures via the e-création telservice. For associations receiving public subsidies, the audit trail facilitates control of fund use by the auditor.
Certyneo fits within the legal framework applicable to the association sector.
Any association must be declared at the prefecture of its headquarters department. Art. 5 requires declaration of statutory amendments within 3 months. The e-création telservice accepts electronic signature.
Art. 9-1 regulates the multi-year objective convention (CPO) between an association and a local authority. Certyneo advanced signature + qualified timestamp make the CPO enforceable and facilitate control of subsidy use.
Associations receiving more than 153,000 € in subsidies must appoint a statutory auditor and publish their accounts. Electronic signature of GA minutes approving accounts facilitates compliance.
Electronic writing has the same probative force as paper writing. Certyneo advanced signature (AES) meets the requirements under regulation (EU) no. 910/2014.
Yes, without restriction. The law of July 1st, 1901 does not require handwritten signature of bylaws. Art. 1366 of the Civil Code recognizes electronic writing as having the same probative force as paper writing. Certyneo advanced signature (AES) is accepted by prefectures via the e-création telservice on service-public.fr.
Yes — the e-création telservice (service-public.fr/associations) accepts uploading documents signed electronically. For associations preferring paper format, the signature can also be printed and sent by mail (prefectures continue to accept both formats).
Yes — ordinance no. 2020-321 of March 25, 2020 (made permanent) allows association GAs to be held remotely or in hybrid format with voting by mail or videoconference. Electronic signature of minutes by the board (president, secretary) is permitted.
Advanced signature (AES) recommended. It provides the presumption of reliability (art. 1367 Civil Code) and meets prefecture requirements. SES is insufficient for associations with significant financial stakes (subsidies >23k€).
Yes. Law 2014-856 does not require handwritten signature. The practice of major local authorities (regions, metropolises) increasingly accepts advanced signature to reduce delays. Check with your partner local authority for their specific acceptance.
For the entire life of the association + 10 years after dissolution. For associations receiving public subsidies, retain for 10 years supporting documents for fund use (art. L1611-4 CGCT). Certyneo archives automatically.
Yes — art. L823-12-1 of the Commercial Code permits electronic signature of auditor certificates and reports. For associations >153k€ in subsidies, this has even been common practice since 2024.
