What is a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

It is the highest level of electronic signature and has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
It is suitable for signing contracts, submitting documents to public authorities, filing tax returns, and signing important business documents.

The entire process consists of the following steps:

  • Start the identity verification on the website (either by scanning a QR code with your mobile phone or directly in your browser using your webcam).
  • Take photos of the front and back of your national ID card or passport. The system automatically extracts the data and verifies the validity of the document.
  • Complete the biometric facial verification (liveness check), which confirms that you are a real person and prevents the use of deepfakes or fake photographs.
  • Once the verification is successfully completed, your data is matched with your application, and your qualified certificate is issued remotely.
