Technical Instruction for the Application of Electronic Signatures in the Reporting Process of the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency – from 1 January 2023
The Administrative Board of the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) issued this Technical Instruction to standardize the electronic signing of reporting files submitted via HANFA's portal. It defines key terms, mandates that signatories use a cryptographic device containing both authentication and qualified electronic signature certificates, and requires the separate storage of original documents when technically necessary for reporting. The Instruction enters into force on 1 January 2023, grants a 90-day compliance window closing on 1 April 2023, and automatically supersedes the previous March 2012 directive upon that deadline.
