Below we have listed the different signing methods. You should be aware that your setup may look different, depending on which integrations your system administrator has set up.

If you wish to read more about integrations, we recommend the integration articles on Addo's support site.

With a screen signature, the signer signs the document by drawing their own signature, possibly with a touchscreen on a phone or with a touchscreen, mousepad, or mouse from a computer.

It is also possible to upload an image for this type, but the image must be in one of the following formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, or .svg.

A signer signs the document with a single click on an "OK" button. This can be used in cases where it needs to be quick.

An OK signature is just as valid and binding as a touch signature.

"Approve" is the only signature method that is not shown on the final documents. This is used in cases where the flow includes, for example, a buyer, a seller, and an intermediary.

This could be in real estate transactions, where the agent should not sign but only forward a purchase offer.

Danish MitID is an identification method by which you as a Danish citizen can identify yourself. MitID has replaced the previous NemID system as Denmark's national digital identity solution.

MitID is a nationally recognized security solution for Danish companies, Danish residents, and Danish authorities. It is used for login, online banking, public and private websites, and for digital signatures.

A signature made with MitID obligates the signer in the same way as a contract written with a ballpoint pen on paper.

BankID is Sweden's leading electronic identification method.

BankID was developed by some major banks such as: Danske Bank, ICA Banken, Ikano Bank, Länsförsäkringar Bank, Nordea, SEB, Skandiabanken, Sparbanken Syd, Svenska Handelsbanken, Swedbank, and Ålandsbanken in 2003 and today supports over 8 million Swedes, both in connection with private and public services.

A signature made with Swedish BankID is therefore just as valid as a signature written with a ballpoint pen on paper, as the person's identity is verified through the banks and with a Swedish personal number.

In Sweden, only TrustWeaver AB can provide this service and therefore they are the only Trusted Service Provider in Sweden.

Swedish Freja is Sweden's only eID that is approved with the Swedish e-legitimation quality mark, issued by the Swedish government.

Freja is primarily used as electronic ID in Sweden, where you can, among other things, show and share your identity with a QR code.

In addition to being an "electronic Swedish health insurance card," it can also be used for login, access to banking and insurance, online payment, and control of who you give your personal data to.

Freja ID also provides the opportunity to see usage history, so users can see what their ID has been used for, what personal data they have registered, and the possibility to opt in and out of what their personal ID should be used for.

Although the service is approved with the Swedish e-legitimation quality mark, it is not on the list of Europe's Trusted Service Providers.

BankID is Norway's leading electronic identification method and, like BankID in Sweden, it was developed by some major banks.

It was launched in 2004. Today they support a total of over 4 million Norwegians in connection with login, access to banking and insurance, online payment, identification via mobile phones, and in support of anti-money laundering legislation.

In Norway, there are several Trusted Service Providers, including: Danske Bank, Bankernes ID-tjeneste, Nordea, SpareBank, DNB Bank, and Eika Gruppen.

In addition to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, the remaining countries in the EU are obligated to accept electronic signatures and identification from all EU member countries from September 2018 according to the eIDAS regulation.

Each member country must therefore also establish, maintain, and publish a list of trusted service providers along with information about the trusted service they offer.

Addo continuously expands regarding new signature and identification possibilities.
