To register for and use eSGN Qualified, you will need to install the Digidentity app on a mobile phone that has NFC. The app can be downloaded from Google Playstore or Apple Appstore. You will also require a valid passport or identity card with an embedded chip for identity verification.
Ways to start registration online:
- You can go directly to our website https://www.digidentity.eu/en/esgn and select an eSGN Qualified product
- You have been provided with a direct link to register for eSGN Qualified
- You have received an email invitation from a Company Administrator with a link to register
Registration steps:
- Create a Digidentity account online by entering your email address, password and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions
- Enter the 8-digit confirmation code that is sent to your email address
- Once your account is created, you can see the registration steps on the left. Click 'Start the registration' to begin
- Add two-factor authentication to secure your account by using SMS messages or the Digidentity app
- You now need to prove your identity by uploading an identity document
- Here you are presented with instructions to download the Digidentity app, if you have not already done so. Scan the QR code with the Digidentity app and follow the instructions on the app (if you are using your mobile phone only and already have the app, you will see an 'Open the app' button to click - the app will open automatically)
- On the app, select an identity document you want to upload: passport or identity card (can be a National ID card or biometric residence permit)
- First, you scan the MRZ code on the inside page of your passport or back of your identity card using the camera. Ensure you line up the code with the arrows on the screen
- Next, place the phone directly on top of the document and the app will use NFC to scan the embedded chip in your passport or identity card. You will see blue dots to indicate when the chip is being read
- Confirm your personal details from your document and continue
- You can now take a selfie. You will then be presented with a blue nodding head, that you need to mimic
- Confirm your selfie upload. This should only take a few seconds before you may continue with registration on your web browser
- Enter your Company Details (if you received an email invitation to register from a Company Administrator, skip to step 13)
- If you have a coupon code, please enter and apply the code. Ensure the correct discount is applied before moving on
- The last step is setting up your smartcard by scanning the QR code with the Digidentity app (or clicking 'Open the app' if using your mobile phone only for registration) and creating a 5-digit PIN. This PIN will be used to confirm your signature when signing documents and can also be used to log in to your account
- Registration is now complete
