WARSAW, 13.05.2026 - Autenti, the European leader in the trust services sector, announces the implementation of a Qualified Validation Service for electronic signatures and seals - the Qualified Validator. This solution will allow companies not only to check the validity and correctness of signatures and electronic seals, but above all to obtain formal and legally binding proof of their validity in accordance with the eIDAS regulation.
The next level of security in digital document circulation
In the era of mass digitisation of documents, e-signature has become a standard component of secure and efficient document circulation. It is a natural next step for organisations to be able to easily confirm the validity of electronic signatures and seals - especially in situations that require additional documentation, such as audits, inspections, legal proceedings or document analysis years later.
Most companies today use tools that allow them to check basic signature information, but are devoid of legal value (e.g. free PDF readers).
However, many business processes also need legally binding proof to demonstrate the validity of e-signatures and data integrity.
Importantly, this Qualified Validator also allows documents to be validated if they have not been signed on the Autenti platform. This means that organisations can also validate signatures and e-seals created in other tools or systems, as long as they meet the requirements of the relevant standards.
From signature to validation - more complete document control
The implementation of the Qualified Validator is another step in the implementation of the strategy to build a European Trust Services Platform - the European Trust Services Platform.
As a hub connecting distributed signature standards, the Validator is a universal tool that verifies the validity of an e-signature or e-signature - regardless of who the signature provider is within the European Union. It meets the needs of the large corporate sector and organisations operating on high-risk contracts.
In practice, it means greater control over documents for organisations, simpler access to formal validation of signatures and the ability to handle different validation scenarios in one place.
Key benefits of the Autenti Qualified Validator:
- Formal validation: the ability to obtain e-signature or e-signature validation certification in accordance with eIDAS.
- The only Autenti e-signature and Autenti advanced e-signature validation capability onthe market.
- Not only qualified signatures: possibility to validate a trusted signature (Trusted Profile) and a personal signature (ID card certificate).
- Legibility of the validation result, thanks to the Validation Certificate, presenting the information in a recipient-friendly PDF format.
- Protection against risk:
- As a Bidder - minimising the risk of rejection in public tenders and undermining the validity of leasing or insurance contracts.
- As a Purchaser - quick verification of the validity of a signature and certainty as to its type.
- Process automation: fast and reliable validation of large volumes of documents thanks to API integration.
- Data security: Data processing on infrastructure located in the European Economic Area.
More than technical signature verification
Unlike standard verifiers, the Autenti service not only verifies the technical aspects of the validity of an electronic signature and seal, but provides a validation certificate secured by an Autenti qualified seal (along with an ETSI-compliant XML report), which is recognised evidence in disputes and audits - even years after the document was signed.
"This is not just another file checking tool. It is a very important part of the trust infrastructure," emphasises Grzegorz Wojcik, CEO of Autenti. "Customers often don't realise that without qualified validation they may not have hard proof in some contentious situations. We give them peace of mind and full regulatory compliance."
Complex regulations, simple solutions
The foundation of Autenti's Qualified Validator is a philosophy where stringent requirements and technological complexities meet maximum user convenience.
Instead of forcing you to analyse raw and unreadable XML files, we offer a validator that 'translates' technical data into clear, ready-to-use reports.
This makes risk management, analysing the validity of signatures and working with documentary evidence simpler and more transparent:
- Legal and operational departments gain immediate insight into formal details.
- Boards and managers can make decisions based on clear data.
- The technological barrier disappears, giving way to information transparency.
The service is particularly useful in sectors requiring a high degree of formal control, such as leasing, insurance, construction, logistics and the public sector.
