@stefano sent to them ... by snail mail, because fax is so unreliable 🤷🏻
@ricardo luckily, they have an online form (using https) 😆

@Linkshaender @Ann_in_a @luca I used to do it, many years ago, but it's been a long time since I had to send a signed document this way
-
@Linkshaender @Ann_in_a @stefano we need also the sign left by a coffee cup

This would help, too

I thought Italy was the land of bureaucracy.
An overseas company wants a certificate for my company. I need to go to a specific office to get it and then scan it. I could get the same document online, but it wouldn't be signed. However, it’s a certificate where I declare... so I would just sign it digitally anyway. But no, they want the paper version, scanned, and then sent to them.
It doesn't make any sense.
@stefano The license for one of the software programs I use must be printed, signed, placed in an envelope, and mailed to the research group at a university in Germany; they don't accept faxes or PDFs, only the original. At least they don't require a seal with a ring stamp.

@stefano You could use ImageMagick to get that scanned look: convert -density 90 input.pdf -rotate 0.5 -attenuate 0.2 +noise Multiplicative -colorspace Gray output.pdf (/via https://chaos.social/@jiska/110848328479540118)

@stefano Joking aside, this is called "Schriftformerfordernis" in Germany, and it hampers the goverment's own digitization efforts. In many cases, a manual signature is the only thing that establishes a legally binding document, and a scan of that document is proof of its existence. So the requirement makes sense from a legal viewpoint.

@jan I hadn't considered this point of view: scanning it means it exists. In case of problems, you need to provide the original, signed one. Yes, it makes sense.
