Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of the valid legal status in the field of legal acts performed in electronic form. In addition to the current legislation in the Slovak Republic, we will find a comparison with the regulation of electronic signatures and trade in the EU, as well as a few remarks on the amendment of the UNCITRAL model laws for this area. The author tries to define and analyze the key problems of the current legislation and draw attention to the non-compliance of some provisions of the Slovak Act on Electronic Signatures with the requirements of the Directive. Although the modification of an electronic signature is the basis for the possibility of the creation of valid legal acts in electronic form, the question of the moment of such legal act appears from the point of view of time, as well as the recognition of data message as equivalent to a document in the traditional sense.
