With your itsme account, you can easily sign documents digitally. Moreover, an electronic signature via itsme Sign has the same legal value as a handwritten signature!

Follow these steps to sign a document:

1. You receive a signature request

• The organization requiring your signature prepares the document.
• You will receive a notification via email (or another digital service supporting itsme Sign).
  Always check the sender before clicking on any links.

2. Open the signature request

• Click on the link in the email or open the website/app of the service provider.

• Carefully review the document before signing.

3. Choose to sign with itsme

• Select the option to sign the document with itsme.
• You will be redirected to the itsme environment (or directly to the itsme app if you opened the request on your smartphone).
• If this is your first time signing with itsme, a signature certificate will be created and linked to your itsme account.

4. Verify your identity

• Open the itsme app on your smartphone.
• Check the details of the action awaiting your confirmation.
• Then, confirm the action as you usually do in the itsme app.

5. Confirmation and completion

• After a successful verification, your signature will be legally valid.
• You will receive a confirmation, and the signed document will be stored or sent to the service provider.
