Activating Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) verification for your Sign.Plus account ensures a higher level of security and legal compliance for your electronic signatures. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up QES Verification on your Sign.Plus account.
- Access Company Info:
- To begin, navigate to the Profile tab, followed by the General of your Sign.Plus dashboard. This is accessible from the top right corner of the interface, where you see your profile icon.

- In the Recipient Verification section, find the QES Verification setting. Next to it, there will be a Manage button. Click on this button to proceed to enable the feature or to configure who in your organization can require QES verification for signature requests.
- Define and Enable QES Verification Requirements
- If your Sign.Plus account is individual, after clicking on Manage, you will be directed to a new screen where you can click on Allow QES to enable the feature for your account or to disable it.
- If you have a multi-user Sign.Plus account after clicking on Manage, you will be directed to a new screen where you can specify who is allowed to require QES Verification:

- Only Admins: Choose this if only administrators should have the authority to request QES verification.
- Only Selected Members: Use this option to specify individual members who can require QES verification.

- Completion
- Once confirmed, your settings will be updated, and QES Verification will be activated as per your specified requirements. To begin using Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES), you will need to purchase QES credits.
Note: The QES verification requires the signers to have their identity verified through an online verification process the first time, and verification fees will apply. If applicable, make sure all relevant team members are aware of these requirements.
