Identification methods

Identification methods

Overview

If you want to sign or seal a document for the first time, you must identify yourself during the signature process. For this we offer various options:

All identification methods are free of charge and directly integrated into the signature workflow. After successful identification, a certificate is created proving the authenticity of your signature. This is valid for five years and must only be renewed after this period, i.e. you only have to identify again after five years (except for NECT, here your certificate is valid 24 hours).
