FAQ

  • What is an EU Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

    A Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is an advanced electronic signature that is legally recognized and has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature across the EU. You can find out more about QES here: https://sumsub.com/blog/electronic-signatures-qes/.

  • What is the difference between advanced and qualified electronic signatures?

    The main difference between an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) and a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is their legal status and security level. A QES, created with a qualified device, has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature, while AES offers a slightly lower level of operational security and legal recognition within certain European countries.

  • How does the QES onboarding process work?

    The process involves ID Verification, Liveness, and QES signing, where an OTP is used to confirm the user's real-time presence. To complete the process, users must review the document, accept its content with a checkmark, and enter the OTP.

  • Is the QES legally recognized?

    Yes, it is fully compliant with the eIDAS regulation and recognized across all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

  • How can I choose a qualified electronic signature provider?

    When choosing a qualified electronic signature provider, ensure they comply with eIDAS regulations and use secure, certified technology. Look for a user-friendly platform that integrates well with your existing systems.
