Electronic Signature API

Automate e-signing and KYC
identity verification for businesses

Support for multiple signature types:
  • electronic signatures (SeS)
  • advanced electronic signatures (AdES)
  • advanced electronic signatures with KYC identity verification (AdES + KYC)
  • personal signatures
  • qualified electronic signatures (QES)
With our REST API, you can:
  • sign documents directly within your application
  • automate document workflows
  • keep users within a single environment
  • maintain full control over the user experience
  • in some cases, keep documents within your own infrastructure

One ecosystem. Three ways to integrate.

Choose the integration model that best fits your application.
Would you prefer the ready-to-use SIGNIUS interface, or would you rather keep the entire signing process within your own application? Compare the options:

API Professional

Sign documents using the SIGNIUS platform interface

The simplest way to enable document signing in your system. Your application manages the documents and the signing process, while users complete identity verification (optional) and sign their documents through the SIGNIUS interface.

Ideal if you:

  • want to get e-signatures up and running quickly
  • need AdES and QES signatures
  • don’t want to build a signing UI
  • want to use the ready-made SIGNIUS platform, with the option to customise it with your branding

API Headless PDF

Sign PDF documents without the SIGNIUS front end

The entire user experience stays within your application. You send the PDF document to SIGNIUS and, once it has been signed, receive the completed, signed document back.

Ideal if you:

  • have your own application and UX
  • want to keep users within your own environment
  • need to sign PDF documents
  • don’t want to build the entire technical signing layer yourself

API Headless Hash

Hash signing – maximum control over your documents

Your document stays within your infrastructure. You send only its cryptographic hash to SIGNIUS, then embed the signed hash back into your document.

Ideal if you:

  • have your own document workflow system
  • cannot allow documents to leave your organisation
  • need full control over the user experience
  • have your own document and signature management layer

KYC Identity Verification API

Create a new user and verify their identity

The RA API lets you create a user and, where required by the selected signing process, verify their identity. It can be used alongside the Headless PDF and Headless Hash API models.

What can you integrate?

Integrate electronic signatures with your business systems.
