In this sense, among the new qualified trust services introduced or reinforced are:
The qualified electronic file service, ensuring the integrity, authenticity and preservation of electronic documents over time;
As well as qualified electronic ledger, based on distributed registration, ensuring immutability, traceability and chronological order of records.
In turn, in the national legal system, the EIDAS Regulation is complemented by Decree-Law No 12/2021, of 9 February, which ensures its execution. It therefore provides that electronic documents signed with a qualified electronic signature have a probative value equivalent to that of handwritten signatures under the Portuguese Civil Code.
