Penneo offers Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) with Norwegian BankID, Belgian eID, and ID Verifier alongside itsme® QES.
Gold standard for digital signatures
A Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is the most secure type of digital signature. It provides the highest legal validity under the EU’s eIDAS regulation, equally recognised across the entire EU.
When you and your signers use Norwegian BankID, Belgian eID or passport through ID Verifier app, the resulting signature is now QES.
Similarly, Penneo has been offering QES via itsme® for some time and has just expanded its international coverage. itsme® now supports all 27 EU countries as well as the UK, Norway and Iceland.
Legal protection you deserve: Reverse burden of proof
QES provides a powerful legal protection by shifting the burden of proof in legal disputes. Instead of you having to prove a signature’s validity, the person disputing it has to prove it isn’t valid. That means less time spent defending contracts and more time focusing on your business.

Highest legal validity, no added cost or complexity
No added cost: QES is now included in the price of BankID and ID Verifier signatures. This means no price increase or hidden fees.
No added complexity: Signatures acquired using BankID or ID Verifier now automatically results in QES. You and your signers still have the same signing experience with Penneo Sign; no changes.
With Penneo QES, you get more than compliance
You get absolute confidence in every document you sign. By using QES, you eliminate the need to second-guess your signatures or worry about proving your process.
