Relief Validation Becomes Bangladesh's First commercial e-Signature Provider

With its platform, Relief Validation enables all citizens, companies and institutions in Bangladesh to use e-signatures that are equivalent to traditional handwritten signatures on paper documents. One of Relief Validation's first contractual partners is the esteemed Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. It is using the company's solution to issue electronically signed digital diplomas to its students.

“Empowering progress, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology proudly embraces e-signatures, revolutionizing the validation and accessibility of academic transcripts and certificates. With e-signatures, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology spearheads a groundbreaking approach to academic validation, securing recognition from embassies and international universities, propelling our graduates onto the global stage,” says Professor Farid Uddin Ahmed, Vice Chancellor of Shahjalal University of Science & Technology.

Legally valid e-signatures also play a crucial role in realizing the "Smart Bangladesh" vision.
