There is legislation in place in the EU to enable digital signing. I think it is currently only on the level of: 'signatures that meet these standards can be legally binding if the contract allows for digital signatures'. I also do believe there is a system to allow countries to do identity attestation. That is, countries will assert that, indeed, this key belongs to this name.

not sure about the rest of the EU, in Poland there's a thing called Trusted Profile ("Profil Zaufany") where your bank serves as an "identity provider", i.e. you basically use your online bank account to verify your identity. it's kinda weird! but after that you can use your TP to sign and submit most (?) government forms/docs so it's pretty nice
