REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENT AND ITS PROBATIVE VALUE. THE DIGITAL ARCHIVE AND THE COPY PROCEDURE

The Electronic Administrative Document is an essential tool in administrative legal circulation and, particularly, in administrative procedures. Therefore, it must be surrounded by the necessary requirements to ensure its integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality, and as the paper document, continue being at the service of legal security. To unravel these requirements from administrative regulations, to differentiate the electronic administrative document from the administrative act, and to clarify the consequences that the omission of electronic document requirements may have on the application of legal-administrative categories such as validity or effectiveness, is one ofthe purposes of this work. Additionally, taking into account that the importance of the electronic administrative document lies in its probative value, it is crucial to specify what this is in light of procedural law; and this, despite the flawed use of categories such as the public document by administrative rules. On the other hand, it emphasizes that the progress in electronic data exchange between Public Administrations may constitute a violation of data protection regulations, unless instruments preventing it are enabled. Based on these basic premises, the duties of filing, conservation, destruction, and copies of electronic administrative documents, which are so important in the policy of managing electronic documents, are analyzed by both the state and the Andalusian regional regulations.
