How to sign documents using ElectronicID video-based identification

ElectronicID video-based identification is a document signing method that can be used without creating an eID tool or registering a Dokobit account. This function can be enabled in the portal only by our paid plan users ("Professional", "Business," and "Enterprise") and is available only with PDF format files.

To start using this method, you will need an internet connection, a valid ID, and a device with a working camera for capturing your face.

Note: Please be aware that the price per signature for this signing method is 5 EUR + VAT. The cost will be covered by the document owner, who is financially responsible for all signatures from all parties involved.
