AFAIK, depends on the country and legislation. In Ireland (and Spain) I&#x27;ve had to produce originals where the signature was clearly hand-written (they looked for pen pressure points, for example).<p>I&#x27;ve even had kafkaesque situations where I was asked for the original of a document that was only available online. In those cases I had to present a printed copy of the document and a signed document (from the bank in this case) saying that they didn&#x27;t send hard copies&#x2F;originals.
