Send, sign, and seal documents that hold up under Qatari law — in Arabic and English. Built in Doha for GCC business, with cryptographic evidence on every signature.
The legal basis
Qatar recognised electronic signatures in Decree-Law No. 16 of 2010 on Electronic Commerce and Transactions. Article 28 gives an e-signature evidential weight when the signature data is uniquely linked to the signatory and under their sole control at the time of signing — exactly the properties SahlSign enforces with OTP-verified identity and a cryptographic seal.
In 2025 the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) added a formal Trust Services regime (Decision 3/2025, QA-TSF), aligning Qatar with the international SES/AES/QES tier model. For the overwhelming majority of commercial documents — contracts, offers, NDAs, HR paperwork — a well-evidenced electronic signature is binding today.
SahlSign strengthens every signature with the evidence Qatari courts look for: verified signer identity, a tamper-evident audit trail, a PAdES digital seal, and an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp.

Signers in Saudi, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, or Oman? One envelope, each certificate grounded in the right national law.
Yes. Decree-Law 16/2010 (Article 28) gives electronic signatures evidential weight when the signature data is uniquely linked to the signatory and under their sole control. The CRA’s 2025 Trust Services regime added a formal tier framework on top. Most commercial documents can be validly e-signed in Qatar today.
Like most jurisdictions, Qatar excludes certain instruments from electronic execution — matters of personal status (marriage, divorce), and documents requiring notarisation or registration such as real-estate title transfers. Day-to-day commercial contracts are not excluded.
SahlSign is built for exactly that test: OTP-verified signer identity, a hash-chained tamper-evident audit trail, a PAdES digital seal with an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp, and a completion certificate citing Law 16/2010 — the evidence package a court weighs when signature authenticity is challenged.
No. Signers receive an email link, verify with a one-time code, and sign from any device — in Arabic or English.
Natively. The signing ceremony is true RTL, typed Arabic signatures render correctly in the sealed PDF, and every completion certificate is bilingual Arabic/English — because it was built Arabic-first, not translated.
