SignSpry by country: law, templates, currency and language
What the six country pages cover, what your organisation's country setting changes, and what you get if your country is not one of the six.
SignSpry has a page for each of six markets: India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Singapore and the Gulf. Each one says what the local e-signature law is, how many ready-made documents are drafted for it, what SignSpry does for people there and where your data lives. Open them at /countries/india, /countries/united-states, /countries/united-kingdom, /countries/european-union, /countries/singapore and /countries/gulf.
The product is the same everywhere. Your organisation's country changes only a handful of defaults.
Your organisation's country
Go to Admin → Signing defaults → Organisation country. Leave it on Automatic — from the time zone, or choose your country. It sets:
- how numbers, dates and money are written for your members
- the default paper size for documents you write in the editor: Letter in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and several other countries in the Americas, A4 elsewhere
- the address and tax-ID fields your invoice details ask for
- which set of ready-made documents the gallery opens on
- whose rules the warning for documents that cannot be signed electronically shows first
- whether the US ESIGN consumer disclosure is on by default (United States only)
What each page covers
| Page | Law the page names | Ready-made documents | Interface languages highlighted |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | Information Technology Act, 2000 (section 10A) | 61 | English, Hindi |
| United States | ESIGN Act (2000) and UETA | 9 | English, Spanish |
| United Kingdom | Electronic Communications Act 2000; UK eIDAS | 9 | English |
| European Union | eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014 | 9 | German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch |
| Singapore | Electronic Transactions Act 2010 | 9 | English, Chinese |
| Gulf | UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 46 of 2021; Saudi Electronic Transactions Law | 9 | Arabic, English |
Together, that makes 106 ready-made documents. They are starting points, not legal advice, and they have not been reviewed by local counsel. See The starter template gallery.
Every interface language is available in every country. The page highlights the languages people there are most likely to want. See Choosing your language.
Things worth knowing
- Standard electronic signatures. SignSpry applies standard electronic signatures with consent, an audit trail and a tamper-evident seal. On the EU page, advanced and qualified signatures are described as being on the roadmap, and member-state rules on notarial deeds still apply.
- Excluded documents. Every country excludes a few kinds of document, such as wills and some property transfers. SignSpry warns you before you send a document that looks like one. Warnings are written for India, the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and Canada.
- United States. Organisations in the US get the ESIGN consumer disclosure on by default for new envelopes, and documents made in the editor default to Letter. See Signing with consumers in the United States.
- Prices. You pay in your own currency when SignSpry prices in it, and in US dollars when it doesn't. A country page shows its local price only if that currency is currently offered, so check the pricing page for what is on today. Invoices carry GST in India; for customers abroad the invoice itself says whether the export is zero-rated or carries IGST.
- Your data. For customers in every country, documents, audit trails and backups are stored on Amazon Web Services in Mumbai, India. No other region exists. See Where your data lives.
If your country is not one of the six
You still get the whole product. The gallery picks your set by country: EU and EEA countries get the EU set, the six Gulf Cooperation Council states get the Gulf set, and the other four markets get their own. For any other country the gallery opens on the India set, and you can switch to another set at the top of the gallery. Paper is A4 or Letter by country, and prices are in US dollars unless your country's currency is offered.
