GetAccept supports Norwegian BankID signing, also known as NBIES (Norwegian BankID Electronic Identification Signing). The signing method must be configured when the document is created, or it can be updated at any point before the document is sent. It cannot be changed after sending.
Prerequisites
You must have an admin role on the GetAccept entity.
NBIES must be enabled on your entity as an add-on. Contact your GetAccept representative to have this activated.
Enable NBIES signing on a document
In the app
Note: NBIES is activated in stage 2 of 3 of the document creation flow (the signing settings step). It is easy to miss, and the signing method cannot be added or changed once the document has been sent.
In the document signing settings (either during the creation flow or via Update document settings > Signing on an existing draft), choose Norwegian BankID (NBIES) from the signing method tabs. The available tabs are:
Standard e-signature
Norwegian BankID (NBIES)
Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)
You can also check Require verification before viewing document to require recipients to authenticate with BankID before they can open the document.

Via API
When creating a document via the GetAccept API, set the external_eid_signature parameter. See the createDocument API reference for full details.
Note for API customers with NBIES enabled by default: If your entity has external_eid_signature set as the default, you can override this on a per-document basis by explicitly passing external_eid_signature: false in the API call. The document will then be sent using standard e-signature instead.
Personal number matching (optional)
NBIES personal number matching can be configured per recipient. When enabled, the recipient must authenticate with a BankID that matches a specific Norwegian personal identification number.
In the app: Open Edit recipient details and enter the recipient's Norwegian personal identification number in the NBIES personal number matching field.
If a number is entered, GetAccept validates that the BankID used matches that specific person.
If the field is left empty, the recipient is still authenticated via BankID, but no identity matching is performed.
Via API: Pass the personal identification number in the relevant recipient field on the API call.
Other BankID methods
If you need recipients to sign using other BankID methods within the NBIES flow, contact GetAccept and we will enable this for your entity.
Recipient signing experience
When a recipient opens a document configured for NBIES, they are prompted to authenticate using their Norwegian BankID credentials. If Require verification before viewing document is enabled, this authentication happens before the document is accessible. Once authenticated, the recipient can review and confirm their signature.
