Features
Sending invitations for signing is easy. With Visma Sign you can send the invitations by email or sms.
The signers identify themselves by using banking codes or MobileID. For signers located outside the Nordics, there is also a light authentication available.
Digital signing is easy and efficient. Signed documents are saved in the Visma Sign archive, where all parties can browse the documents they have signed.
Digital signature enables reliable signing of documents – wherever, whenever. Thanks to the audit trail, digital signature is even more reliable than its ancient cousins – pen and paper. Every event related to the signature leaves a digital trace and the documents can’t be modified after the signature has been given.
89% of documents are signed within 24 hours of the request. Digital signature enables signing documents whenever, wherever.
Digital signature is a completely secure method for signing documents. The signer, time of the signature and the signed content are indisputably verifiable afterwards.
Digital signature saves you 90% of the time and costs related to the signing process. It eliminates the need for printing, scanning and physical archiving.
With Visma Sign, your documents can stay digital throughout their lifespan. This reduces the load on nature and the amount of office space covered by paper and shelves.
Digital signature is more secure than a traditional signature because it leaves a digital trace called an audit trail. The audit trail enables indisputable verification of the originality and integrity of the document.
From the audit trail, the sender of the invitation can check the key information of the document; the IP-addresses of the signers and the timestamps of the signature.
In Visma Sign the signatures are compounded to the document and each page is stamped with the information of the audit trail as well as the unique document verification code. This code enables verification of the document afterwards.
The authenticability of the signer’s identity is a key factor in the legitimacy of digital signature. In Visma Sign the verification depends on the chosen method of authentication.
In strong authentication (also called two-factor authentication) the identity is authenticated through a third party with banking codes or mobile ID.
In the signed document, the names and timestamps of the signers are visible in the signature, as well as information on which country’s authentication method was used.
The originality and integrity of a digitally signed document can be verified by anybody. This happens by checking the signers of the documents as well as the time and place of signing. Through verification it can also be confirmed that the document has not been modified after signature.
You can use Visma Sign or Adobe Reader to check your document by using the verification code.
With Visma Sign, the collector of the signatures determines whether the document requires a strong or light authentication. By standard we recommend using the strong authentication. However, it is not always possible. For these cases we also offer a light authentication.

Strong authentication uses a third party, such as banking codes or mobile ID, to confirm the identity. In a sign document, the names, timestamps and information on which country’s authentication method were used in the signature event are visible. By standard we recommend using the strong authentication always but especially in events when the signer isn’t known personally or when a signature confirms a financial commitment.
Digital signature with a strong authentication
No. Digital signature is a completely legally binding and secure way of signing documents and defined by EU-directives. Every document and signature is traceable through audit trail.
Some situations - such as internal processes within an organisation - do not require strong authentication. In the light authentication process the signer draws their signature in the signature field digitally. Since strong authentication is possible only using nordic (excl. Iceland) mobile ID’s or banking codes, the light authentication comes in handy when the signer is located outside the Nordics.
Lightly authenticated signatures are also verifiable afterwards. In the signed document the digital signature, printed name, email address and IP-address of the signer are visible.
Digital signature with a light authentication
Yes. Digital signature is a completely legally binding and secure way of signing documents and supported by EU-legislation. Digital signatures are even more secure than traditional signatures because the integrity and originality of each document can be confirmed.
