Digital Signature and Electronic Seal Technology Now Available

APEGBC has partnered with Notarius Inc. to offer digital signature and electronic seal technology to members. Use of the technology will allow APEGBC members to electronically preserve, transmit and sign electronic documents, files or e-mails to clients, owners, municipalities and others. All professional seals recognized by APEGBC as specialist designations (e.g., C.P., Struct.Eng.) can be used with the digital signature technology.

The following process will allow members in good standing to benefit from this technology:

  1. Fill in a request form;
  2. Sign the request form in the presence of another member in good standing or notary;
  3. Forward your request form, required documentation and payment information to APEGBC. (See pricing below)

Following the receipt of the request, APEGBC will verify the membership status of both the member making the request and the individual who has witnessed the signature, and will grant Notarius permission to issue an official APEGBC digital signature and electronic seal. 

Members interested in purchasing the digital signature and electronic seal technology are asked to contact Lina Bowser at (604) 412-4862 or by e-mail at lbowser@apeg.bc.ca.

During the 2008 APEGBC Annual Conference in Kelowna, a representative from Notarius Inc. will be available at the APEGBC booth October 16-17 to demonstrate the digital signature and electronic seal technology. A presentation will be held on the Thursday, and the technology will be available for purchase throughout the conference.
