More security for e-letters in France
Registered letters are a part of bureaucracy in France to ensure important mail arrives.
An online electronic version gives the benefit of security, the option of being delivered by the postman or via email, and is much cheaper and quicker than paper.
The lettre recommandée électronique will be standardised from the start of next year and, known as the LRE eIDAS, will have more security with the identity of sender and recipient being verified at the time of sending and of receipt.
LREs are sent mainly by businesses with private individuals being the main recipients, as for rental agreements, contracts etc. They are also used by individuals to formally end contracts.
