Electronic signature in Poprad: a guide for companies at the gateway to the High Tatras
Poprad is the gateway to the High Tatras and a tourism hub with an active hotel and real estate sector. Seasonal rental contracts, agreements with tour operators and employment contracts with foreigners are being signed faster and faster in Poprad thanks to digital tools. For companies in tourism, hospitality and the aviation sector, electronic signatures are the modern standard.
Why Poprad companies are digitising their signing
1. Tourism and hospitality
Hotels and guesthouses near the Tatras conclude contracts with tour operators, online travel agencies and corporate clients from across Europe. Electronic signatures allow seasonal contracts to be signed from anywhere without a physical meeting — the partner receives a link on their phone and signs within minutes.
2. Seasonal employment contracts
Poprad employs hundreds of seasonal workers from abroad each year. Employment contracts and liability agreements can be sent and signed before the employee even arrives at the workplace, saving time for HR departments and employees alike.
3. Real estate and rental market
Real estate agencies and owners of Tatra mountain apartments use electronic signatures for short-term and long-term rental agreements. The entire process — from sending the contract to the audit trail — takes place digitally without printing or scanning.
4. Aviation sector
Poprad-Tatry International Airport serves charter flights from Western Europe. Airlines and ground handling companies conclude service agreements and NDAs electronically, which aligns with the standards of the international aviation industry.
Legal framework
Electronic signatures in Slovakia are governed by:
- eIDAS (EU 910/2014) — valid in all EU member states
- Act No. 272/2016 Coll. on Trusted Services for Electronic Transactions — Slovakia’s transposition of eIDAS
For the vast majority of commercial documents an advanced electronic signature (AdES) is sufficient. A qualified signature (QES) is required only for certain official acts.
