What is a Qualified Electronic Signature?

A qualified electronic signature is a document authentication tool that can save you a lot of time. Taking advantage of the Internet, you can sign various documents without leaving your home or office.

Above all, it is legally recognized as a valid signature for all persons in the country. This means that any document you sign with it will have the same power and validity as if you signed it on paper.
The qualified electronic signature provides an undoubted guarantee of your identity. It makes it impossible to falsify your documents, preserves the secret of communication, and makes the electronic document official.
