It is impossible to retroactively assign a certified date to a document. That is why it is important to provide your contracts with a certified date as soon as possible.

If I scan my physical contract, can I obtain a certified date?

No. For a document to obtain a certified date through a preservation certificate, it must be electronic in origin, as must its signatures.

Is the preservation certificate a method approved by the authority to give a certified date to electronic contracts?

Yes. In a confirmation of criteria addressed to Mifiel, the SAT acknowledged that preservation certificates “[…] guarantee to any third party or authority that electronic documents have been kept intact and unchanged since their generation, thus preventing the simulation of legal acts.”
