Joining a charity or membership body is form-free and handled entirely online. New members sign the application and membership rules via a link on mobile; the audit trail records the time of joining.

Avancée (AES)

Liée au signataire via OTP e-mail/SMS et audit trail. Standard recommandé pour la plupart des contrats.

Niveau recommandé pour ce secteur

Qualifiée (QES)

Équivalent juridique de la signature manuscrite, avec certificat qualifié. Pour les actes les plus sensibles.

Internal charity documents are form-free — the advanced signature (AES) provides the necessary evidence. Deeds require a physically present witness.

Cadre légal British

Trustee deeds and execution

Many constitutional documents are form-free, but where a charity executes a deed (e.g. a deed of trust or certain property documents), the witnessing rules apply and the witness must be physically present (Law Commission 2019). Membership, internal resolutions and partnership agreements can be signed electronically with Certyneo.

Transparency and grant reporting

Grant funding requires rigorous documentary accountability. Certyneo archives minutes, resolutions and agreements with integrity and a timestamp — a solid evidence base for funders and the Charity Commission.
