There are times when your business will need to verify the identity of an electronic signer in order to make the process more secure and meet certain regulatory or compliance requirements. As a result, identity verification methods are having to evolve in line with technology developments to stay ahead of online threats as they grow in sophistication.

For most high-value or highly-sensitive transactions that take place within the European Union, the use of Advanced or Qualified Electronic Signatures that comply with eIDAS regulation, are preferred. In addition, for those agreements that also involve Know Your Customer (KYC), identity assurance is critical for compliance and risk mitigation. Learn how DocuSign’s newest offering increases trust by integrating digital identification and authentication with a mobile-first signing experience.
