What is a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?
QES is the highest level of digital signature under the EU’s eIDAS regulation, offering the same legal weight as a handwritten signature, based on a qualified certificate and a secure device (QSCD), it guarantees maximum security, document integrity and the certified identity of the signatory.
An electronic signature (e-signature) is the digital way to show your agreement or approval on a document or transaction, instead of signing with pen and paper.

A digital signature is a cryptographic procedure that enables electronic documents to be given legal validity, in the same way as a handwritten signature.
It is based on the use of cryptographic key pairs (public and private keys), hash functions and secure devices (such as smart cards or HSMs), protected by authentication systems such as PINs.
Digital signatures are a fundamental tool for ensuring the authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of electronic documents, and are essential for conferring legal validity in numerous contexts, including the signing of contracts, declarations and administrative documents, in both the public and private sectors.
To create a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES), you must obtain a qualified digital certificate from a trusted Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) like TrustPro QTSP.
Your identity will be verified through a secure online identification process.

Who provides the electronic signature?
The electronic signature with legal value throughout Europe must be issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
TrustPro QTSP is a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
The EU trust mark is a logo which tells users that they can trust a certain service online to carry out their online transactions in a safe, convenient and secure way.
The EU trust mark gives the assurance that the providers of electronic trust services and the trust services offered by them are qualified and comply with the rules set out in the eIDAS Regulation, thus ensuring a high quality which is regulated throughout the EU.
Differences between qualified and non-qualified electronic signatures
As specified in eIDAS Regulation there is no single electronic signature. Electronic signatures are divided into three categories, depending on the technology used and the level of security and privacy offered to the user. In particular, European Regulation speaks of:
- simple electronic signature (e.g. personal email)
- advanced electronic signature (e.g. graphometric signature on a mobile device)
- qualified electronic signature (provided by a EU QTSP – Qualified Trust Service Provider)
In the eIDAS Regulation both qualified and non-qualified electronic signatures (simple and advanced) benefit from a non-discrimination clause as evidence in Courts. In other words, trust services cannot be discarded by the judge only on the grounds that they are in an electronic form.
Choose a QES for higher legal certainty and higher security of electronic signatures
Qualified certificates for electronic signatures are provided by entities which have been granted a qualified status by a national competent authority as indicated in the national ‘trusted lists’ of the EU Member State. Those lists can be accessed through the Trusted List Browser.
While different levels of electronic signatures may be appropriate in different contexts, only qualified electronic signatures are explicitly recognized to have the equivalent legal effect of hand-written signatures all over the EU.
Benefits of electronic signature for end users
Electronic signature allows the full digitization of business processes, eliminating the time and costs of printing, faxing, mailing, copying, scanning and filing in paper formats which presents many disadvantages:
- risk of loss, destruction and incompleteness
- difficulty to search, edit and share
- need for bulky, physical storage space
By eliminating these burdens, governments, companies and citizens implementing the electronic signature will:
- save significant time
- enhance the security of the processes
- reduce operational costs
- cut carbon footprint
- improve all parties’ satisfaction
- fullfil legal compliance
Electronic signing is fast, green, secure and extremely convenient, contributing to an improved overall experience.
