What should I keep in mind when verifying signing authority using DeepValidator?

Prerequisites

• DeepCloud Account
• Signature(s) in the validated PDF:
  • Signature type = qualified electronic signature
  • Legal jurisdiction = ZertES (Switzerland)

Scope of the audit

Only the signing authorities of companies and their authorized representatives that are listed in the Swiss Commercial Register at the time of the check are taken into account. Signing authorities such as powers of attorney that are not listed in the Commercial Register, or companies that are not registered there, are not checked. Previous or amended Commercial Register entries cannot be displayed either. This means that if the signature was created at a time prior to the date of the check, other signing authorizations may have existed.

Therefore, be sure to check the entry in the commercial register, taking into account the date of signature and any restrictions on signing authority.

Can the authorization check be used directly in other software solutions?

Yes, thanks to a REST API, the verification service can be easily integrated into third-party applications, allowing you to verify signing permissions directly from your software application. Please contact us for more information.
