How to obtain an electronic signature for a foreigner?
Obtaining an electronic signature for a foreigner requires four steps.
- Initial verification of the identity document, researching the client's needs and the possibility of obtaining a signature. After receiving the green light and payment of the invoice, we start the process.
- Completion of an application to obtain a qualified signature by a foreign national with our representative (15 minutes).
- Carrying out identity verification based on a video call with an external consultant, during which you have to verify your phone number, introduce yourself, answer questions about your passport data, show your passport from different angles and sign the contract with an SMS code (approx. 30 minutes).
- Installation of software, activation of mobile application and qualified signature, assignment of PIN and PUK codes for signature, practical training (30-60 minutes)
The entire process is conducted in Polish or English, depending on the client's preference.

What documents are required to issue a qualified signature for a foreign person?
To obtain an electronic signature, an original document of identity should be prepared. You can choose between an identity card, passport or permanent residence card. We recommend choosing the passport because of its common acceptance in the eKRS and s24 systems. The passport must be valid longer than the qualified signature.
In a situation where a Polish PESEL number has been assigned, it is possible to add it to the signature instead of the passport number - such a signature has no limitations and is as valid as one issued to a Polish citizen. In this case, a scan of the PESEL number certificate issued by the authorities or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required.
List of necessary things and documents to obtain a qualified signature:
- passport/ID card/permanent residence card - scan to mailbox (needed for report) and original document for video verification of identity
- personal email address - a form and all the key information needed to activate the certificate will be sent to this address
- optional certificate/scan of the PESEL number certificate - only for customers with a Polish PESEL. Otherwise ID number from identity document is used.
We avoid preparing certificates that contain the data of the represented entity - they significantly reduce the functionality of the signature.
Can a qualified signature be without a PESEL number?
Yes, a qualified signature can be without a PESEL number. Additionally, according to the eIDAS regulation, it can be replaced with a passport or ID card number. Before each signature activation, we verify for which purpose the signature is to be used and recommend the best possible solution. In 99 per cent of cases, the best choice is a universal certificate with the passport number for which the company was founded
5 things to pay attention to when getting a signature for a foreigner:
- Integrity of the data between the KRS and those in the certificate - you should carefully verify that the data provided in the certificate application is identical to that provided in the KRS, CRBR or s24. Lack of integrity will result in rejection of the signature in the system.
- Identification number in the certificate - if the signature is to be used for tax matters (taxpayer.gov.pl, CIT declarations), the PESEL number should be included as an identifier.
- Validity of the certificate - if the identity document is to be a passport, a signature should be purchased not longer than the validity of the document.
- Special characters in the certificate - omitting special characters and their spelling will result in rejection of the qualified certificate in the verification process.
- Additional data in the certificate such as the name of the represented entity builds a professional image, but creates problems when signing documents within another entity. We recommend choosing a universal certificate that does not contain company data.
