Mexico NOM-151
NOM-151 defines the legal standards for data message preservation and document digitization in Mexico.
When attestation is set to mx_nom151, a preservation certificate in ASN.1 format is attached to the deliverable. SignatureAPI also adds a verification link on the last page of the deliverable. Both the certificate and the deliverable can be verified using any ASN.1 signature verification tool.
To use NOM-151, set attestation to mx_nom151 when creating the envelope:
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json
{
"title": "Contrato",
"attestation": "mx_nom151",
"documents": [
//...
],
"recipients": [
//...
]
}NOM-151 attestation adds $0.10 per completed envelope.
