Sign any contract with legal validity across the EU — qualified eIDAS, from the platform
4mycontracts.net integrates qualified (QES) and advanced (AdES) electronic signatures per the eIDAS Regulation. The signer receives a link by email, signs with verified identity, and the signed document lands instantly in the archive — no PDF exports or external tools.
Sign once — valid everywhere in the EU
Qualified QES signature (eIDAS)
The highest level of electronic signature, with legal force equal to a handwritten signature in all EU member states. Uses qualified certificates from accredited providers (certSIGN, Namirial).
Advanced AdES signature
Identity-verified signature, suitable for commercial contracts, NDAs and confidentiality agreements. No hardware token required, directly from the browser.
Multi-party signing flow
Signer order is configured graphically: sequential (A signs → B receives), parallel (all receive simultaneously) or mixed. Each signer sees only what they are permitted.
Identity verification (KYC)
Optional integration with Onfido or Stripe Identity: the signer uploads their ID and takes a selfie. Verified identity is attached to the audit trail.
OTP, biometric or digital certificate
Authentication via SMS code (OTP), mobile biometric signature or personal digital certificate — choose the right level for each contract type.
Bulk signing and signing templates
Send dozens of similar contracts (employment contracts, distribution agreements) for simultaneous signing with a single click. Live status for each.
The prepared contract reaches the signer by email or SMS. The signer opens the link, reads it, applies the electronic signature with their chosen method, and the signed, timestamped document automatically returns to the archive — no installation needed.
Advantages and limitations of eIDAS electronic signature
Advantages
- Qualified QES has the same legal force as a handwritten signature in all EU member states (eIDAS Art. 25(2)).
- No hardware token or installation for AdES — the signer signs directly from browser or phone.
- Multi-party flows (sequential, parallel or mixed) with live status per signer.
- Optional KYC identity verification (Onfido / Stripe Identity) attached to the audit trail.
- Bulk signing of dozens of similar contracts with a single click.
- Signed, timestamped document lands straight in the archive — no PDF export step.
Limitations
- QES with a cryptographic card requires the card reader's driver on the signer's device.
- Qualified certificates are issued by accredited providers (e.g. certSIGN, Namirial) and may carry their own cost.
- Legal recognition is framed for the EU/eIDAS area — non-EU jurisdictions may require separate validation.
- Signer-facing interface available in Romanian and English only.
Bottom line
The right choice for any RO/EU business that needs court-proof signatures without paper or couriers. If you sign primarily under non-EU law, confirm local recognition first.
