What's included in Qualified electronic signature
Issued through a qualified trust service provider — the highest of the three assurance levels.
Signers verify their identity before signing, not just their inbox — the binding a qualified signature exists to prove.
The cryptographic key never leaves a qualified signature creation device, which makes a later denial very hard to sustain.
Request a qualified signature the same way you request a standard one — same interface, same audit trail, higher legal ceiling.
Send a qualified signature request
Add a qualified signer to an envelope the same way you add a standard one — pick the level per recipient.
Get in touchIdentity checked before signing
The signer verifies their identity with the qualified trust service provider before the qualified certificate is issued — the strong-binding step that makes the signature qualified.

Legal effect depends on the law that governs your contract.

|---|---|---|---|
| Legal weight | Simple evidential weight | Strong evidence of integrity and origin | Can match a handwritten signature |
| Signer authentication | Email or SMS code | Signature data under the signer's sole control | Qualified certificate, hardware-protected key |
| Identity verification method | Self-declared | Identity document check | Identity check by the qualified trust service provider |

A qualified electronic signature is the highest of the three assurance tiers: reaching it requires a certificate from a qualified trust service provider, issued only after verifying the signer’s identity, and generated on a qualified signature creation device so the signing key never leaves tamper-resistant hardware. Under the law that governs your contract, that combination is what can put a qualified signature on equal footing with a signature on paper.
We are not becoming our own trust service — that is an accreditation path measured in months, not a feature. Instead, qualified electronic signature will ship through a qualified trust service provider, wired into the same sending flow you already use for a standard signature.

Frequently asked questions
Not yet — it will ship through a qualified trust service provider, and that integration is in progress. Join the waitlist to be notified the moment it opens, and to help shape it as a design partner.
A standard signature is enough evidence for most contracts. A qualified signature adds a certificate issued by a qualified trust service provider and identity verification before signing — under the law that governs your contract, it can carry the same legal weight as a handwritten signature.
Anyone bound by a regulation or a counterparty that names it explicitly — some notarial acts, certain public-sector filings, and contracts where a counterparty's legal team requires it.
