Sign your documents with a secure and legally binding signature and invite other people to sign your document using a simple to use workflow. How it works: Create a Digidentity account (https://auth.digidentity.eu/accounts/new). This involves creating a personalised smart card with a 5-digit pin code (this adds an extra layer of security to your Digidentity account), making your signatures legally binding. For this you will need to download our Digidentity App. Download the eSGN app. Log into the eSGN app using your Digidentity login credentials and 5-digit pin code. Import the PDF document you wish to sign. Use the app to sign the document and confirm it with your 5-digit pin code. Share it!
