Signature delegation
Definition
Signature delegation is the mechanism by which an authorised signatory (delegator) formally transfers their signing authority to a third party (delegate) for a defined period and scope. Under French law, a signature delegation must be explicit, formalised in writing and precisely mention the acts covered. On Certyneo, delegation is managed on the administration side: the delegator configures a signing role for the delegate; the audit trail records the effective signatory's identity and the legal basis of their delegation.
