Electronic title and registration system--Electronic documents--Electronically submitted signatures

Official statutory text

Any reference in this chapter to a "certificate of title" also applies to an electronic record of title under the electronic title and registration system required by § 32-3-69.1 . The department may allow a person to submit a document required under this chapter by using electronic media deemed feasible by the department, instead of requiring an original document. If a signature on a document is required by law and the document is submitted electronically, the signature requirement is satisfied by an authenticated, electronically submitted signature. An electronically submitted document, once accepted by the department, is deemed the same as an original document and is admissible in all administrative, quasi-judicial, and judicial proceedings.
