The electronic document includes data message that is reliable in the place of a claim or a defense. According to Civil Code and Electronic Commercial Laws of Iran and others countries, the electronic document includes three types of notarial electronic document, private electronic document with simple signature and private electronic document with Secure signature. In contrast to France and America legislators, Iran law does not have a precise definition about the notarial electronic document and it should advocate on paraphrases about observed traditional regulations on paper documents for explaining this document. This paper through analytic method studies the difference between the secure electronic document and the notarial electronic document in addition, explains the definition and types of electronic documents. It proceeds to Iran's requirement on this scope and then, it leads to the suggestions about the approval of regulations in relation to notarial electronic documents.
