Openapi is the only platform that allows more than 15 different types of digital signatures to be requested via API, including signatures with physical devices (e.g. USB and smart cards), qualified electronic signatures, devices with or without CNSs, and video recognition identification possibilities.

On Openapi it is also possible to choose between different Certification Authorities such as InfoCert or Aruba, without minimum purchase commitment or obligations to specific brands.

With the API Digital Signature other types of signatures such as simple electronic (with OTP) and qualified signature can be requested.

Qualified E-Signature InfoCert Foreign Countries

Qualified E-Signature Foreign Countries is the InfoCert digital signature without physical support (e.g. USB or Smart Card) and includes video recognition. The procedure is completed on a language platform. It is the ideal solution for Italians living in Italy and for all those without Italian citizenship.

This type of signature does not require a National Services Card (CNS) certificate.

The qualified e-signature ensures full compliance with EU Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS) and can be used, for example, to sign credit and loan agreements with customers, current account agreements, and purchase, sale and lease agreements. It has legal value throughout Europe, lasts for 3 years and can be renewed for a further 3 years before expiry by following the dedicated procedure.

The video-recognition process is available from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CET - Central European Time). The identity card of the following countries is accepted: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia.

Request Completion

In order for the certificates to be issued, it is necessary for the requester to complete the video identification process.

In the response, when the status has changed to processed, it will be possible to access the discount code for video recognition. The signature activation data (Emergency Code, PIN, PUK) will instead be, according to regulations, sent directly to the applicant's email via virtual envelope (PDF) by the InfoCert Certification Authority.

You can check the status of signature processing at any time via the endpoint GET/richiesta/{id}.

In addition, 'Virgin' signatures can also be requested via the API Digital Signature. This is for example the case for RAO customers who can issue signature certificates themselves and only need to purchase batches of devices.

Qualified E-Signature InfoCert Foreign Countries service via API is designed for companies and organisations wishing to offer their customers abroad a secure, certified signature that can be used by an individual with their own credentials to sign any digital document, without the need for a physical device.
