HelloSign chose to partner with IDnow and Namirial as leaders in identity verification and digital certification, which meet eIDAS standards and deliver a flexible and easy-to-use service that aligns perfectly with HelloSign’s secure and intuitive eSignature platform. Thanks to face-to-face identity verification provided by IDnow and digital certification from Trusted Service Provider (TSP) on the European Trusted List (EUTL) Namirial, HelloSign with QES delivers the highest standard of legally binding eSignatures. They will also be prepared for any new QES requirement that may lay ahead as their business grows. Customers who add QES to their HelloSign Premium plan will be ready for any agreement that requires QES, which may include loan, lease and rental agreements, sales agreements, and employment contract termination. While not a requirement for all agreements in the European Union, specific use cases require QES, making HelloSign with QES an appealing option as an incremental add-on for HelloSign Premium plan customers. “We are so pleased to now bring our customers the option of adding QES to their agreements, providing even greater confidence as they build out their digital workflows and conduct business in the EU.” “We recently expanded globally and brought our trusted eSignature functionality to businesses across the world in 21 additional languages,” says Whitney Bouck, COO of HelloSign.

QES meets the highest standard of security and authentication available in Europe, as the only type of electronic signature with the same legal value as a handwritten signature under electronic IDentification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS). Dropbox announced that HelloSign now offers Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) to further support customers doing business in the UK and European Union.
