Frequently asked questions

Is my digital signature legally valid?

Yes. How binding it is depends on the type of signature chosen. With verified identity, it is the qualified electronic signature (QES) – it is equivalent to a handwritten signature, in Switzerland and in the EU.

What type of signature do I need?

For documents without legal form requirements, a direct signature is usually sufficient. If you need to ensure the validity of the document or if someone specifically requires a legally binding signature, choose the signature with identity verification.

Does it cost anything to sign a received document?

No. When you sign the document, you don’t pay anything. The person who requests the signature is also the one who pays for it.

How do I sign with verified identity?

About SwissID. You confirm the signature once in the SwissID app, after which your identity is stored and you can sign as many documents as you like.

What documents can I sign?

PDF documents – for example, contracts, powers of attorney, agreements, registrations, or consents.

Can multiple people sign the same document?

Yes. You specify who needs to sign, who only receives a copy, and whether the signatures should be in a particular order.

Where are my signed documents stored?

In Swiss data centers, encrypted and FADP compliant. Signed documents remain accessible in your digital mail.

What happens if I don’t want to sign?

You are not required to sign. The requesting person will see that your signature is open in this case.
