express formality or requires signature

express formality or requirement of signature (BAD CITATION)


Explanation:
The Spanish in the question is clearly bad.

As any self-respecting Peruvian will doubtless know, the said Artículo 141-A DOES NOT SAY THIS. What is says is....

"Artículo 141º-A.- Formalidad
En los casos en que la ley establezca que la manifestación de voluntad deba hacerse a través de alguna formalidad expresa o requiera de firma, ésta podrá ser generada o comunicada a través de medios electrónicos, ópticos o cualquier otro análogo.
Tratándose de instrumentos públicos, la autoridad competente deberá dejar constancia del medio empleado y conservar una versión íntegra para su ulterior consulta."

CONGRESO DE LA REPUBLICA
LEY Nº 27291
LEY QUE MODIFICA EL CÓDIGO CIVIL
PERMITIENDO LA UTILIZACIÓN DE LOS MEDIOS ELECTRÓNICOS
PARA LA COMUNICACIÓN DE LA MANIFESTACIÓN DE VOLUNTAD
Y LA UTILIZACIÓN DE LA FIRMA ELECTRÓNICA

So somewhere along the line somebody has done a bit of a typo.

a través de alguna **formalidad expresa o requerida de firma***, ésta podrá ser generada
through some express formality or requires signature, the latter may be generated ....

However, once these organizations have put an electronic workflow into practice, they still require some form of signature capacity, such as an electronic or handwritten signature. The reasons behind this need are generally authorization or security related:

and you might add "official" or "officially recognized" to cover the "expresa o requirida" part ...

formal proof or signature

Agree with BH's explanation (excellent!) but a re-wording here that makes it more naturally English-sounding imho
