QUALIFIED ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES
Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) Signing For Regulated Digital Agreements
Shufti’s QES Verification Solution verify the signer, issue a qualified certificate, and apply a legally binding signature in one flow. Backed by an EU Trusted List QTSP. Supports across all 27 EU member states.
TRUSTED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LEGALLY BINDING SIGNATURES
Qualified Signatures Backed by Verified Identity
Why Enterprises Choose Shufti for Qualified Signing
Cryptographic Consent & Signature Signing
A qualified electronic signature is only as strong as the consent layer behind it. If signing is not cryptographically linked to a verified identity, it holds no legal weight under eIDAS. Shufti captures user consent through OTP-based signing and Strong Customer Authentication, cryptographically stamping the verified identity to the signature event and creating a legally binding, non-repudiable record.
ETSI-Aligned Identity Proofing
Most identity verification providers don't meet the ETSI TS 119 461 standard, meaning their checks can get rejected in EU-regulated workflows before a signature is even issued. Shufti's verification engine covers document checks, MRZ analysis, and biometric face matching with liveness detection at over 99% accuracy, built to the exact standard regulators require for qualified signature flows.
End-to-End QES Flow
Stitching together separate vendors for verification, consent, and signature issuance creates gaps in compliance, accountability, and the user experience. Shufti handles the full journey including identity proofing, consent via OTP or Strong Customer Authentication, and qualified certificate issuance through certified QTSP partners, so your users move from onboarding to signing in one audit-ready flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a qualified electronic signature (QES)?
A qualified electronic signature is the highest assurance level under the EU eIDAS Regulation. It carries the same legal effect as a handwritten signature across all 27 EU member states. QES requires identity verification by a QTSP, a qualified certificate, and a signature created on a QSCD.
How does QES differ from an advanced electronic signature (AES)?
AES is linked to the signatory and detects changes, but does not require a qualified certificate or QSCD. QES adds both. Only QES has automatic legal equivalence to a handwritten signature under eIDAS.
Which countries recognise QES?
A QES issued by a QTSP in any EU member state is valid across all 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. Many non-EU jurisdictions also recognise QES through bilateral agreements.
Does the signatory need software or a hardware token?
No. Shufti’s QES flow uses remote QSCD managed server-side. The signatory completes identity verification and authorises the signature through a web or mobile interface.
How long does the QES process take?
The full flow typically completes in under 90 seconds for returning users and under 3 minutes for first-time signatories, depending on the identification method and jurisdiction.
What happens under eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet?
eIDAS 2.0 requires every EU member state to offer a European Digital Identity Wallet by December 2026. Shufti’s QES infrastructure is designed to accept EUDI Wallet credentials for certificate issuance.
Can QES be used for multi-party agreements?
Yes. Shufti supports sequential multi-signatory workflows where each party completes their own identity verification and applies a separate qualified electronic signature with individual timestamps and evidence chains.
