Digital legal notices: digitize your municipal or corporate obligations

Since July 1, 2022, digitizing legal notices has been mandatory for all municipalities with more than 3,500 inhabitants (decree no. 2021-1311). And businesses also have posting obligations to comply with (Labor Code). The E-CLICK LEGAL DISPLAY module covers both use cases from a single platform, on screen, interactive kiosk, or totem.

Digital legal notices: definition and regulatory framework

📋

What is digital legal display?

Digital legal display refers to the publication of your municipality's official acts on a digital medium accessible to citizens. Resolutions, orders, and administrative acts join public life on screen. This digital system replaces the paper notice board in the reception hall. Citizens can view and freely download mandatory legal documents.

⚖️

Decree no. 2021-1311: mandatory since July 1, 2022

Decree no. 2021-1311 of October 7, 2021 simplified the rules for publishing administrative acts. Since July 1, 2022, electronic publication has been the standard procedure for all municipalities with more than 3,500 inhabitants. This legal obligation concerns approximately 5,500 French municipalities. Smaller municipalities are not subject to this requirement but may opt in voluntarily.

📄

Which documents are concerned in town halls?

Your local authority must publish in digital format:

  • Municipal council resolutions and minutes
  • Municipal orders and urban planning acts (PLU, permits)
  • Administrative acts and public consultation notices
  • Local regulatory decisions and civil status records

These contents are accessible in downloadable PDF format via QR code.

💡

Did you know?

Publishing a legal act in digital version takes less than 2 minutes compared to more than 30 minutes for traditional paper posting - printing, travel, posting on notice board. Source: customer feedback from the digital signage sector.

BUSINESSES

Your workplace posting obligations

The Labor Code requires every business to post several documents in a location accessible to all employees. With the E-CLICK Legal Display module, these postings become dynamic, modifiable in seconds, and far more readable than an aging notice board on the wall.

1
Occupational health and labor inspection contact information
2
Collective bargaining agreement applicable to the company
3
Emergency numbers (fire department, emergency medical services, police)
4
Prevention of moral and sexual harassment
5
Professional equality between women and men
6
Fire safety instructions and evacuation plan
7
Working hours, weekly rest, working time
8
Employee representatives and CSE contact information
9
Single document for risk assessment (DUERP)

A single touchscreen in the reception hall or break area is sufficient to make all of this accessible with one click, in compliance with regulations.

BENEFITS

The benefits of digital legal display for your local authority

-30 minTime savings: one-click updatesUpdating a paper posting requires printing, travel, and installation. A digital legal document is updated in less than 2 minutes - on all your displays simultaneously, from your dashboard.
24/7Readability and accessibility for your citizensAn interactive kiosk in the reception hall or outdoors provides access to legal information 24/7, even when the town hall is closed. WCAG 2.1 compliance - accessibility requirements met.
-$2,000Reduce paper and costsBy replacing your paper notice boards with digital displays, your local authority reduces its annual printing costs ($500 to $2,000 depending on size). The digital transition contributes to your CSR approach.
CONCRETE BENEFITS

Beyond the numbers: everyday benefits

Simplify and accelerate updates

Updating a digital document is much faster than updating a paper document. One click is all it takes, regardless of the number of screens. For a paper document, you would need as many printouts as notice boards, not to mention modifications.

Information accessible to all

Screens, totems, and kiosks occupy limited space, on the wall or floor. Regardless of the size of your common areas, you will find a location accessible to all, including people with reduced mobility (WCAG 2.1 and accessibility compliance).

When legal signage rhymes with CSR

Financial, time, and material savings. No more printed paper, no more reprinting, no more costly modifications. And with an E-PAPER screen (see below), you go even further in terms of energy efficiency.

COMPARISON

Which solution to choose for your digital legal display?

Decree 2021-1311 authorizes three methods. Each solution has advantages depending on the size and uses of your municipality. The comparison below helps you choose.

Accessibility and 24/7 availability: the decisive criteria

Two criteria distinguish the physical interactive kiosk from a simple website for legal display in town halls: availability outside opening hours and accessibility for people with reduced mobility. A digital totem or kiosk installed in the reception hall or outdoors remains accessible 24/7. Configured at regulatory height, it meets accessibility requirements - unlike a web page viewed only on a personal computer.

For municipalities with fewer than 3,500 inhabitants: what options?

The legal obligation does not apply to municipalities with fewer than 3,500 inhabitants. However, these municipalities may voluntarily opt for digitized legal display on a digital display. The Emity suite offers three pricing plans adapted to small municipality budgets. A 3-month free trial - full Excellence version up to 3 screens - allows you to test the legal display solution without commitment.

IMPLEMENTATION

Implementing your digital legal display: steps and funding

1

Identify your obligations

Check whether your municipality exceeds 3,500 inhabitants. Inventory the legal documents to be published: resolutions, urban planning orders, administrative acts. This assessment allows you to size your solution according to your actual volumes.

2

Choose and deploy the system

The choice depends on your space and usage constraints. An interactive kiosk in the hall suits small town halls. An outdoor touchscreen extends accessibility outside hours. Implementation via Emity resellers - no technical expertise required.

Funding: DETR, DSIL, Green Fund
