Advantages

• Time saver: Applying and verifying handwritten signatures is time-consuming. A Certipost e-Signing signature is valid for all content and pages of your document with only one action. And the verification is equally easy and fast.


• User friendly: Certipost e-Signing electronic signatures are easy to apply on any file format. No worries about technical implementation of the electronic signature and resulting legal effects. Everything is set up in a user friendly way!


• Open standard: The signature and verification service implementation is based on the implementation of open standards (a.o. XAdES signature format*).
  * ETSI TS 101 903 standard


• Long term proof: The Certipost technology for e-Signing is future-proof which makes your signature valid for long term documents. Your Certipost e-Signing signatures are guaranteed for at least three years. We are working on a possibility for you to increase this guaranteed period.


• Legal compliance: Certipost e-Signing is in line with legal requirements. An electronic signature created through Certipost e-Signing, is automatically legally equivalent to a handwritten signature.


• System independent: The Certipost e-Signing service is not linked to any proprietary application and signatures are not embedded into any specific file format but are provided as a separate signature file, linked to the signed file. It is open to any means of delivery of the electronically signed file concerned (standard e-mail, off-line, etc.).


• Validation service included: There is no barrier for the verification of the signature: any recipient using a supported browser can validate the signature thanks to Certipost e-Signing. This service is free of charge and does not need any other software to be installed.
