Authentication Methods

You can use one of several authentication methods to protect against unauthorized access to your documents. When authentication is used with a transaction, the signer must first identify him- or herself with the chosen method before they are allowed to view and sign the document.

When you select one of the identification methods, a text field appears in the upper right corner so that you can enter the required information.

None

If no authentication method is selected, anyone with the link to the signing portal will be able to access the transaction documents and sign it.

NemID Private

NemID Private with CPR number is used when a person has to identify their identity or sign on their own behalf. When the signing portal is accessed, the signatory must first confirm himself with the NemID that matches the CPR number entered.
You must know the recipient's CPR number to use this identification method.

Danish NemID Private without CPR number
NemID Private without CPR number can be used in case you as the sender do not know the signer's CPR number. The signer still signs with NemID as usual. The difference is that we can not confirm in the signing portal that it is the signer's own NemID that is signed. However, we have the opportunity to find out which NemID has been used in the event of a discrepancy.

NemID employee signature

NemID employee signature can be used when an employee has to legitimize and sign documents on behalf of a company.
A NemID employee signature allows employees to identify themselves on behalf of their company. It contains the employee's name, company name and company CVR number. NemID employee signature is protected by a personal code.
You must know the company's CVR number to use this identification method.

SMS Code

With SMS Code you can choose for the signer to identify your documents with an SMS code. When sending documents to be signed, the recipient receives a code via SMS, which must be entered before the person can see the documents.

Swedish BankID

Swedish BankID is used when a person has to legitimize their identity and sign on their own behalf. It works in the same way as NemID and can be used with and without a social security number.

Norsk BankID

Norwegian BankID is used when a person has to legitimize their identity and sign on their own behalf. It works in the same way as NemID and can be used with and without a social security number.

SITHS

SITHS is a security solution and e-identification that allows users to identify themselves with strong authentication. It is used in Sweden by public institutions.

Secret Code

Secret code is a way to prevent unauthorized access to the documents in our signing portal by using a previously agreed code or a "secret handshake", which only you and your recipient are in possession of.

This can be any alphanumeric code.

eIDAS

eIDAS is the name of the EU regulation that includes digital identification. However, it is also the name of one of our identification methods. Selecting eIDAS as the identification method allows the signer to select some of the eIDAS approved ID methods across European countries.

At present, this applies to the following countries. Please note that the list is constantly updated.
