More information on itsme®: https://www.itsme.be/en/faq

 

How much credit do I need?2024-10-02T11:20:26+02:00

Each time you get someone to sign, you consume a credit, regardless of the number of document(s).

For example, if you want 2 signatories to sign 1 contract and its 3 appendices, you will need 2 credits.

What document formats can I upload?2020-03-15T19:59:04+01:00

We manage all the usual * document formats.
You can upload all your documents (office, text, image, pdf …), both on Windows and Mac. We will merge them and convert them into a single document in Acrobat (pdf) format for signature.

Password protected documents are not supported.

* the extensions accepted are as follows:
pdf, pages, wpd, lwp, doc, docx, wps, odt, sdw, numbers, xls, xlsx, ods, sdc, key, pps, ppsx, ppt, pptx, odp, txt, rtf, abw, md, tex, csv, epub, mobi, jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, tif, tiff, ps, svg
How many pages can I have signed?2024-05-16T10:11:07+02:00

The answer to this question lies in the time it takes to process the pages sent in order to convert them into PDF/a. If this operation is too cumbersome, technical time-outs will be reached and generate an error.

A distinction needs to be made between pages from a word processing application (such as Word, Pages, etc.) and scanned pages, which are more akin to document ‘photos‘.

In the first case, and provided your documents do not include images, you can easily have documents of 500 pages or more signed.

In the second case, it depends whether you work in black & white or colour, but you won’t exceed 100 pages in black & white.

What should I do if I receive an error after uploading my documents?2024-02-19T14:07:36+01:00

Sometimes a uploaded file can cause problems when converted to PDF/a format.

  • the file name contains special characters
  • information about a specific font is missing
  • it contains an element that is not correctly interpreted (e.g. a merge / fill field)
  • it has a non-standard page format

In this case, we recommend that you print the file to a ‘pdf printer’ in order to generate a print-type pdf, which will eliminate these exotic cases.

How do I place markers on my documents to indicate where signatures should be displayed?2022-03-24T22:32:38+01:00

If you want to indicate in a document where electronic signatures should be placed, all you need to do is insert the following syntax:

#SIG01_120_240# for the first signature,

#SIG02_120_240# for the second signature, and so on.

NB: 120_240 corresponds to a frame 4 cm high and 8 cm long.

So that these characters do not appear on the document, you just need to change the color of the font to white.

Can I add an additional signature to a document already signed electronically?2023-12-05T15:28:45+01:00

Yes it’s possible.
If you upload a single Acrobat file that already has one or more electronic signatures, we will use it as is to keep the existing signatures.
In this case, you will be asked to manually position the signatures in order to be able to add the electronic signature to the document.

Please also note that:
– if your file is not in PDF/A format and if it is signed with itsme, it will have to be converted to PDF/A and you will lose any pre-existing signature
– if your file is not in a PDF format supporting the addition of signature, it will have to be converted and you will lose any pre-existing signature.

Where is the only legal place to verify an electronic signature?2022-03-24T22:46:57+01:00

The real information relating to electronic signatures contained in a signed pdf document can be found in the ‘Signature’ menu of the free Acrobat Reader application.e-signature certificat consulter adode acrobat reader

Can a signer sign from abroad?2023-07-20T19:09:59+02:00

Yes of course, it is quite possible.

If you sign using your Belgian identity card (.beID) you will need to have your identity card and reader connected with you.

If you sign with itsme, your smartphone with the itsme® app.

If you sign with a unique code sent by email, only access to your email account (to receive the code) is sufficient.

How can I follow the evolution of signatures?2020-03-15T15:52:56+01:00

Once the signing procedure has started, you can follow the status of each signatory in your dashboard. When all the signatures have been made, all the people involved receive by email the duly signed document in secure Acrobat format.

Why do some signature links expire?2022-05-03T20:29:18+02:00

When a signer clicks a second time on the link sent to them, they will receive an error telling them that their link has expired, for security reasons.
A new link to sign can be sent to him by simply clicking the ‘Request a new email’ button.

What to do if a signatory no longer has the invitation to sign?2020-03-15T15:51:19+01:00

As long as the signing process is in progress, the initiator has a ‘Reminder’ button in his dashboard. This allows you to send a reminder message with a new signature link to all signatories who have not yet signed.

What happens if a signatory does not sign?2020-05-26T10:58:38+02:00

If a signatory no longer has the invitation to sign, simply use the “Reminder” button to send all the signers who have not yet signed a reminder message with a new signature link.

The initiator can also choose from his dashboard to prematurely end the signing process using the ‘Stop’ button in order to obtain the document with the signatures already made.

Unsigned signatures are always credited back to your account.

Can I retrieve a partially signed document?2022-05-03T20:29:00+02:00

In case you ‘Cancel’ a request for signatures from your dashboard, if one or more signatories have already signed, the partially signed document will then be available in your dashboard.

On the other hand, if a signatory ‘Refuses’ the document to be signed, there will be no document available.

What happens when all the signatories have signed?2020-03-24T23:19:02+01:00

This completes the signing process.
All signatories and the initiator then receive an email to download the final document signed by all parties.

The initiator will also be able to download the version of the signed document from his dashboard.

For WHISE users, the signed document is automatically saved in the detail of the property.

How do the signatures appear on the final document?2022-03-24T16:25:34+01:00

It all depends on which signature positioning mode you have chosen.

Automatic
If we do not find markers on the documents, a page intended to receive the signatures is automatically added at the beginning of the downloaded documents. This cover page will list all the signatories.

If we find markers in your documents, we will not add a cover page and will place the signatures in the areas delimited by the markers.

Manual
The signatures will appear in the document at the places you have defined, (page number and distances from the top & left side edges).

Where is the only legal place to verify an electronic signature?2022-03-24T17:35:24+01:00

The real information relating to electronic signatures contained in a signed pdf document can be found in the ‘Signature’ menu of the free Acrobat Reader application.e-signature certificat consulter adode acrobat reader

How do I verify/print a signature report?2023-09-25T14:21:23+02:00

Beyond the information included in the ‘Signature’ menu of Acrobat Reader, you can also submit the signed file on a page created by the European Commission.

DSS Validation

After submitting your signed document, you will have the option (top right) to print or download the generated report.

 

How do I keep my signed documents?2020-05-19T16:12:26+02:00

All signed documents are automatically stored in doccle. Each user can at any time connect their doccle account to e-Signature.eu as a new partner and will then have access to all their signed documents.

The doccle app will always be offered free of charge, more information on https://doccle.be/en/

What are the additional advantages of the electronic signature?2020-03-15T15:50:30+01:00

In addition to the security and authenticity advantages of the electronic signature, here are some additional benefits which are added to it:

  1. the possibility of signing a document without printing it (saving paper)
  2. the possibility of sending the document by e-mail (economy of stamp)
  3. the possibility of signing a document without meeting (reduction of travel)
  4. the possibility of implementing a real document dematerialization policy
  5. the possibility of keeping the document in digital format (simplification and elimination of paper storage and archiving)
