My understanding is that this should be handwritten.
If it was referring to a letter then it might be hand delivered, but I think it is referring to the wording.
This is standard for the signing of contracts in France. These words must be handwritten.

: in an official document you have to write in these words by hand before signing so "hand delivered" is quite wrong here
