An electronic signature is a time saving, cost-effective and secure way to get electronic documents signed. E-signatures are legally binding in the vast majority of countries around the world and carries the same weight and legal effect as an inked or handwritten signature. Oneflow offers both simple (SES) and advanced electronic signatures (AdES).

Signing methods:

• Standard e-signature
• SMS-verification 
• BankID
• Handwritten signature
• Manual signing

Standard e-signature (SES)

Standard e-signature is the default setting for Oneflow verification and signing. This is the most commonly used form of electronic signatures where one signs with a click of a button through a private, encrypted link.

SMS-verification (SES)

(To enable this signing method, administrator permission is required)
The counterpart will receive an SMS with a 6-digit code, and use it to confirm their identity when signing the document.

This signing method requires you to provide the counterpart's phone number and having the SMS extension enabled in your Oneflow account. Please, read more about enabling SMS here.

Electronic Identification (SES) & (AdES)

1. Go to Admin  > Account > Extensions. 
2. Scroll to Electronic IDs and make sure it's enabled. Then you can choose which electronic IDs you want to activate.
