Electronic Signatures on Requisitions (19 March 2020)
Electronic Signatures on Requisitions (19 March 2020)

Message from the Insolvency Service

As part of our business continuity planning and to ensure we can support flexible working arrangements, we have been reviewing the payment process. Following that review it has been agreed that with immediate effect electronic signatures on requisitions will be accepted.

The signature will still be checked against the signature that is held on our database, however we will no longer be checking that it is a wet signature.

Unfortunately, we are not in a position at present to accept the payment requests electronically, therefore you will still need to post your requisitions. We are working on a solution that will allow us to accept requisitions by e-mail and we will keep you updated on the progress.
