Use Electronic Identification (eID)

Using eID signing ensures the correct recipient signs your document by requiring them to authenticate with their national digital ID. This process adds a verified personal identity number (personnummer) to the final signing certificate, meeting high legal and compliance standards.

Option 1: Activate eID for your entire entity

Activating eID in your entity settings makes it the default signing option for every new recipient added to a contract. This does not automatically affect existing template roles.

  1. Go to Settings and select Signing under Document settings.

  2. Toggle on Sign with electronic identification.

  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.


Option 2: Enable eID on specific recipients

You can require eID for individual recipients during the send-out process, even if your global settings are different.

  1. Open your document draft and find the Recipients tab.

  2. Click the three dots next to a recipient and select Edit recipient details.

  3. Under Signing method, check the box for Electronic identification.

  4. Click Save. The recipient card will now show a lock icon.

Option 3: Enable eID on template roles

Enabling eID at the template level ensures that whenever a sender uses that template, the BankID requirement is automatically applied to the person assigned to that role.

  1. Go to the Content library and open a template.

  2. In the Recipients tab, click the three dots on a role and select Edit template role.

  3. Check the box for Electronic identification and click Save.
