Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. PaperOffice Sign meets the requirements of EU Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS) for simple electronic signatures (SES). Through mandatory SMS-OTP verification, the forensic audit trail with VPN detection and GPS location proof, our signatures achieve particularly high legal validity in court.
Before a recipient can sign, they receive a 6-digit one-time code via SMS to their verified mobile number. This code is valid for 10 minutes and must be entered correctly. Without SMS verification, no signature is possible – this is mandatory at PaperOffice Sign, not optional.
Each signature uses transparent pay-per-use credits — no monthly subscription and no minimum contract. Even free users can use signatures when credits are available. See the pricing section for current rates in your currency.
Every signature is protected with over 15 security checks: SMS-OTP verification, device fingerprint (SHA-256), IP address with ISP identification, VPN/proxy/datacenter detection, GPS coordinates with reverse geocoding, browser profile and a chronological action log. All this data flows into the signature certificate.
Select 'QR Code' as the delivery method. A QR code is displayed that the recipient scans with their smartphone. On the desktop, you see real-time progress: Connected → OTP verified → Document read → Location captured → Signed. The signature preview appears live on your screen.
Yes, you can add any number of recipients. Choose between parallel signing (all at once) or sequential signing (in a defined order). Set the order via drag & drop. Each recipient goes through the complete verification process.
For mobile signatures (QR code), the signer's GPS location is captured and documented in the certificate with a Leaflet map. This significantly increases legal validity: it can be proven where the signature was made. Accuracy is displayed (<100m = accurate, <500m = medium).
The certificate contains: document info with SHA-256 hash, signer details (name, email, phone, role), GPS coordinates with map screenshot and address, network data (IP, ISP, VPN status), device fingerprint, SMS verification details, chronological audit trail and an eIDAS compliance statement. It is generated as PDF and merged with the original document.
Yes. Upload the signed PDF and PaperOffice checks the SHA-256 hash against the database. This way you can prove the authenticity and integrity of a signed document at any time. The cost of verification is borne by the issuer of the signature.
PaperOffice Sign implements Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) according to EU Regulation 910/2014. Through mandatory SMS-OTP verification, the forensic audit trail and GPS location capture, we achieve an 'Advanced SES' with particularly high legal validity – comparable to advanced electronic signatures.
