Identity Wallet for QES feature from DocuSign further simplifies the digital agreement process 

DocuSign today launches its Identity Wallet for qualified electronic signatures (QES) solution, which complies with the EU & UK eIDAS regulation (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services). The Identity Wallet allows repeat signers to securely store their personal information and easily reuse it for subsequent QES agreements. This results in an efficient, secure and compliant signing process for important agreements.

Building on the evolving concept of digital wallets, DocuSign’s latest offering makes it possible for signers to securely store verified identity-related data such as name, date of birth, and key identity documentation information, so they can easily reapply this information for future agreements. Leveraging the global FIDO Authentication standards, signers are then able to easily reapply this information to future QES agreements, by using the built-in biometric or PIN capabilities available on their preferred device.

An evolution to DocuSign’s popular ID Verification for EU Qualified solution launched in April 2023, once signers have completed the initial QES-required identity verification, they are invited to create an Identity Wallet. In doing so, for each subsequent QES agreement they receive, they will be able to reapply the information captured on their Identity Wallet, by authenticating themselves using the capabilities available on their device, such as FaceID, fingerprint unlock, or PINs. By offering singers such a familiar and intuitive experience, DocuSign Identity Wallet will enable businesses and individuals to complete secure agreements quicker, while maintaining the highest levels of security and complying with eIDAS standards.

“DocuSign’s Identity Wallet for QES is on its way to the mass market to support secure online transactions. This hits the nerve of the times: more and more important transactions are now being carried out digitally and users expect these processes to be not only secure, but also simple and fast,” says Maxime Hambersin, senior irector, Product Management International at DocuSign. “We meet this need by combining our innovative verification process with the advantages of a digital wallet – for faster, simpler and always secure signatures in accordance with the EU standard.”
