Qualified EU Electronic Seals for Identity Verification Reports
Create identity verification reports secured with a qualified EU electronic seal using a qualified certificate issued by DigiCert, a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), together with a qualified electronic timestamp. Reports can include NFC verification, selfie verification and the identity fields requested for your workflow.
What is a qualified EU electronic seal?
An electronic seal is the organizational equivalent of a digital signature. It helps prove that a report originated from the identified organization and that its contents have not been changed after sealing. A qualified electronic seal uses a qualified certificate issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider under the European eIDAS framework.
Organization identity
The report is electronically sealed on behalf of an organization rather than signed by an individual person.
Document integrity
Changes made after sealing can be detected using compatible PDF verification software.
Qualified under eIDAS
The seal is based on a qualified certificate issued by a European Qualified Trust Service Provider.
Qualified trust services provided through DigiCert
ID Scan protects verification reports using a qualified electronic seal based on a qualified certificate issued by DigiCert, a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP). A qualified electronic timestamp is added to establish when the report was sealed and to strengthen the evidence of its integrity and origin.
DigiCert QTSP
The qualified certificate used for the electronic seal is issued by DigiCert as a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
Qualified certificate
The organizational identity behind the seal is linked to a qualified certificate used for electronic sealing.
Qualified timestamp
A qualified electronic timestamp records when the final PDF report was electronically sealed.
Why seal identity verification reports?
Identity verification results are often stored in client files, compliance dossiers or onboarding systems. A qualified electronically sealed report makes it easier to establish what was verified, when the report was created and whether its contents were changed afterwards.
Tamper evidence
Detect unauthorized changes made to the report after it was electronically sealed.
Audit-ready record
Store a clear and verifiable identity verification record in your compliance or onboarding dossier.
Independent verification
The PDF seal, certificate information and timestamp can be inspected without logging in to ID Scan.
How ID Scan creates sealed verification reports
The report is generated after the identity verification flow and can be retrieved through the portal or API.
Verify identity
Complete NFC identity document verification and, when enabled, on-device selfie verification.
Create the report
ID Scan generates a PDF containing the selected identity fields, verification results and relevant checks.
Apply the qualified eSeal
The PDF is protected with a qualified electronic seal using a qualified certificate issued through DigiCert.
Add a qualified timestamp
A qualified electronic timestamp records when the report was electronically sealed.
What can be included in the sealed report?
The report can be configured around your process. You decide which requested fields, images and verification results are included.
NFC verification checks
Include chip reading, document integrity and authenticity check results.
Selfie verification result
Include liveness and face-match results when selfie verification is enabled.
Requested identity fields
Include only the identity fields required for your specific workflow.
Qualified sealed reports with data minimization
A qualified electronically sealed report does not mean that every identity field must be stored. ID Scan supports selective field sharing, masking and configurable retention, so organizations can create verifiable evidence without retaining unnecessary personal data.
Selected fields only
Store only the identity information needed for the specific process.
Masked data
Use masking for fields such as document numbers where appropriate.
Retention control
Configure how long reports and verification data remain available.
Useful for compliance and onboarding workflows
Qualified electronically sealed verification reports are useful where identity checks must be retained, reviewed or shared at a later date.
KYC and AML files
Keep a verifiable record of identity checks in compliance dossiers.
Accountancy and legal
Support client onboarding workflows that require reliable identity evidence.
HR and contractor onboarding
Store identity verification evidence for employees, contractors and temporary workers.
