To perfom advanced or qualified signatures, a signer has to own certificates. The certificate depends on the level of signature requested among:
- Advanced signature (lcp),
- Advanced signature with qualified certificate (qcp),
- Qualified signature (QCP-n-qscd).
For advanced signatures (lcp), a standard identity verification is required.
For advanced signatures with qualified certificate (qcp) and qualified signatures (QCP-n-qscd), an identity verification and a proof of life via PVID process are required.
For each use case, find below the list of identity documents accepted.
