What is a Qualified Electronic Signature?

A qualified electronic signature is a highly secure and legally binding electronic signature that is verified using a qualified certificate from a trusted provider.

A qualified electronic signature (QES) is a secure and legally recognised method for signing documents online. It provides the highest level of assurance for verifying your identity and ensuring the integrity of the document.

A QES is based on a qualified certificate issued by a trusted provider, giving it the same legal standing as a handwritten signature. This means you can sign documents with confidence, knowing they are legally binding.

The process uses advanced security measures to protect your signature and personal information.

By using a QES, you can complete important transactions and agreements remotely, saving time and hassle. It's perfect for situations where legal certainty and security are paramount. 

In essence, a QES makes remote notarisations and other official processes both simple and secure.
