The eIDAS Regulation is the founding text for electronic signatures in Europe. It defines three signature levels (simple, advanced, qualified), establishes the legal standing of electronic acts and governs trust service providers. This guide covers everything you need to know to be compliant in 2026.

Better mutual recognition of digital identities between Member States. Qualified signatures issued in any EU country are recognised everywhere.
eIDAS compliance is not just about picking a signature level. It means thinking through the whole process: risk identification, tooling choices, evidence retention and document governance.
Here is a practical checklist for businesses that want to secure their electronic signature processes in compliance with eIDAS:
Certyneo implements the SES (Simple Electronic Signature) and AES (Advanced Electronic Signature) levels of the eIDAS Regulation. The advanced signature relies on dual-factor authentication: a single-use link sent by email and an OTP code sent by SMS via OTP SMS. This mechanism meets all four criteria of Article 26 of eIDAS for advanced signatures.
Every envelope generates a complete audit trail: timestamp of each action (sending, opening of the link, OTP validation, signature, optional refusal), the signer’s IP address and browser user-agent. This audit trail is embedded at the bottom of every page of the final PDF (audit footer) and retained for ten years.
Data is hosted in Germany (EU) (IONOS infrastructure), within the European Union, in line with digital-sovereignty requirements and the GDPR. Visit our security and compliance page for all the technical details.
eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) is European Regulation (EU) 910/2014, which establishes a common legal framework for electronic signatures, electronic seals, timestamps, electronic registered delivery services and website authentication services in the European Union. It entered into force on 1 July 2016 and applies directly in all 27 Member States.
eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, in force since 20 May 2024) modernises eIDAS 1.0 by introducing the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW), which will let EU citizens store certified digital identity attestations. For businesses, eIDAS 2.0 tightens the requirements for qualified trust service providers (QTSPs) and improves cross-border interoperability.
Yes. Article 25 of eIDAS expressly prohibits denying legal effect to an electronic signature solely on the ground that it is in electronic form. A simple signature (SES) therefore has legal standing, but does not benefit from the legal presumption reserved for qualified signatures (QES). In a dispute, it is up to the party relying on the signature to prove its authenticity.
The general rule is to calibrate the level to the legal and commercial risk of the document. For low-stakes everyday documents (quotes, internal orders), a simple signature is enough. For material commercial contracts, employment contracts, NDAs or mandates, advanced signatures (AES) are recommended. Qualified signatures (QES) are reserved for situations where the law explicitly requires them (certain administrative acts, large public procurement) or where the risk of challenge is at its highest.

eIDAS applies to trust services provided within the EU. A non-EU business that wants its signatures to be recognised in the EU must use an eIDAS-compliant solution or a qualified trust service provider (QTSP) recognised on a Member State's trust list. For international B2B exchanges, mutual-recognition agreements exist with certain third countries.
