The Financial Services Authority of Seychelles has issued Circular No. 13 of 2020 to formally accept electronically submitted documents bearing digital signatures from recognized certifying authorities. The regulator mandates that only digital certificates issued by WISEKEY, DOCUSIGN, or other entities published in the Official Gazette will be validated for official correspondence. This directive streamlines regulatory processes and mitigates physical document handling risks by prioritizing digitally authenticated submissions during the post-pandemic operational landscape.
