Summary/Abstract: Digitization is one of the words that is often heard in every segment of modern business today. Many procedure sand jobs in the business world that took a long time, people and paperwork to complete, have now been reduced to one or a few “clicks”. Until just a few years ago, it was unthinkable for us to be able to, for example, from our own home, pay the bills to avoid waiting in lines and thus saveour time which we have less and less in this hectic lifestyle today. The first Law on Electronic Signature of the Republika Srpska was adopted in 2002, but to date the implementation of electronic signatures has not been officially enabled in practice, although in the last few years, especially after the establishment of the Ministry of Scientific and Technological Development, Higher Education and Information Society, some progress has been made. So, it will soon be 20 years since the adoption of the law which has not been implemented yet and which still represents a dead letter on paper. At the state level, this law was adopted in 2006 and its implementation has been partially facilitated. The aim of this paper is to review the legal framework of electronic signatures, the possibility of its implementation, the problems we encounter in practice as well as the benefits of electronic signatures.
