We are excited to announce that Penneo Sign now supports Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) through itsme®’s signing service. As of April 2024, all signatures made with itsme® in Penneo Sign meet the highest level of legal validity under the EU eIDAS regulation.
What’s Changing?
Signers can only choose to save the signed documents to their Penneo document archive when you have enabled the Security setting on the case file.
- When the Security setting (also referred to as “Sensitive”) is disabled, signers can only access the signed documents via email.
- Your company admin can choose a default value for the “Sensitive” setting in the company settings.
- As the sender, you can always access the signed documents in your Penneo customer account.
- Signers will interact with the itsme® app twice in a row to sign documents
