eIDAS levels & trust services
How this is scored
Which signature levels the platform offers — simple, advanced, qualified, and qualified seals — through which qualified trust service provider on the EU Trust List, for which countries and legal regimes (eIDAS, ZertES), and on which plans.
0 — Not an electronic signature service: a PDF annotation or form tool that places a drawn or typed signature image without any eIDAS signature behind it.
3 — Electronic signatures at the simple level (SES) described as compliant with eIDAS; advanced and qualified levels and the trust service provider are basic or not described.
5 — Simple and advanced or qualified signatures (SES with AdES or QES) offered and named as eIDAS levels, with the plans or add-ons that include them and which documents need which level explained for Germany or the EU.
8 — SES, AdES and QES all documented with the plans and countries they are available in, the qualified trust service provider named with its entry on the EU Trust List linked, QES under eIDAS (and ZertES where relevant) stated, qualified electronic seals for company documents, and the signature level shown in the signed document and audit trail.
10 — Levels are an explicit product decision: the provider is or contracts a named QTSP with its conformity assessment published, level selection per document type or template, remote QES without a separate account, EUDI wallet support stated with a date, and the legal effect per level documented for the main EU markets.
The Legal Counsel
All three eIDAS levels are named and distinguished — the non-qualified Autenti e-signature, the Advanced e-signature with two independent authentication factors, and qualified signatures created one-time via Cencert on mObywatel — plus qualified electronic seals and bulk caps quoted per level. The qualified trust service providers are named as Certum (Simply Sign) and InfoCert, but we found no public information linking them to the EU Trust List, mapping levels to the eSign plans, or covering ZertES and per-country availability. Until the Trust List entries and plan mapping are published, I cannot assign document classes to levels with confidence. 3 4 6 7
