What is a Qualified Electronic Signature?

ZeaLID issues qualified electronic signatures (QES) — legally binding digital signatures that carry the same legal effect as handwritten signatures. Qualified electronic signatures provide the highest level of identity assurance because they are significantly harder to forge than handwritten signatures or non-qualified digital signature types. Under the EU's eIDAS regulation, QES are the only signature type with automatic legal recognition across all EU member states.
