Sign documents with MitID

With Kaddye you can send documents for digital signing with MitID and MitID Erhverv. The signature is an advanced electronic signature (AES) under eIDAS - legally binding across the EU, cryptographically sealed, and documented with a full audit trail.

How it works

  1. Upload your PDF and add signers - name and email are enough.
  2. Signers receive an email and confirm their identity with MitID or MitID Erhverv.
  3. The document is sealed with a certificate from a trust service provider on the EU’s official Trusted Lists using the PAdES standard, and all parties receive the finished document.
  4. The audit trail documents every step: created, sent, signed, completed.

From creation to signed document typically takes a few minutes. Watch a 3-minute walkthrough.

Why sign with MitID?

  • Proof of identity. The signature is uniquely linked to the signer via national eID verification.
  • Tamper-evident. Alter so much as a single character in the document afterwards and the signature breaks, exposing the change.
  • Recognised across the EU. The signature carries legal effect under eIDAS and is accepted as evidence throughout the EU.
  • Data in the EU. Documents and metadata are stored exclusively in Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

The signature you create with MitID is an advanced electronic signature. Read more about the requirements in What is an advanced electronic signature?

How long is the signature valid?

Documents signed with MitID are sealed with a qualified certificate from a trust service provider on the EU Trusted Lists using the PAdES standard, with PAdES-LTA archive timestamps. The seal can therefore be verified for many years, even after the certificates expire, including via the EU's official signature validator.
