# Electronic Document Management

:::info

Electronic documents can only be exchanged with us from a [business account](/account/registration.mdx#account-types).

:::

Electronic Document Management (EDM) is the exchange of electronic documents via an EDM operator. Electronic documents are files signed with an electronic signature. In accordance with Clause 1, Article 6 of Federal Law No. 63-FZ, "Information in electronic form signed with a qualified electronic signature (QES) is recognized as an electronic document equivalent to a paper-based document signed with a handwritten signature." A file without a signature is not considered an electronic document.

Using EDM, we can send formalized documents, such as accounting reports, as well as non-formalized ones, for example, a reorganization document.

EDM allows you to:

* reduce the time spent on document-related tasks (receiving, sending, signing);
* automatically upload documents to your accounting system;
* track documents online around the clock;
* submit documents to regulatory authorities in electronic format.

## Cost \{#cost-edm}

Receiving documents is free. You only pay for sending them; the cost depends on your EDM operator's tariff plan. Additionally, there may be roaming between different EDM operators.

We use the Diadoc system (operator PJSC "PF "SKB Kontur"); information about roaming with our operator is available on the [Diadoc website](https://www.diadoc.ru/roaming/working-with).

## Start using EDM with Selectel \{#selectel-edm}

You can change your document delivery method an unlimited number of times throughout the entire term of the [User Agreement](/account/user-agreement/) (contract). No formal transition procedure for a new delivery method is required.
