@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.
