What signature types can I use in Denmark?

With the introduction of MitID, there is a new signature type that is designed as a replacement for NemID in 2023:

MitID provides three assurance levels: Low, Substantial, and High. Contractbook signature currently comes with the first two assurance levels. 

You will automatically get an assurance level along with your MitID. Your assurance level and your MitID authenticator determine what exactly you can log on to and approve with MitID.

If you need to sign a contract using MitID, you will be redirected to the following login page:

After you have authorized your MitID user by ID and password, you will be able to proceed with the signature's completion.

What is the default signature type in my Contractbook documents?

The default signature type for all Contractbook drafts is one of the advanced signatures - SMS Verification. 

This means that if you save one of your templates as a draft, the standard signature type will be automatically set to an SMS verification. Currently, it is not possible to control the default signature type on a template level. 

If you want to change the signature type for your contract, you need to do that in its draft mode.

How can I send my contract?

Now you are ready to send the contract to all recipients and sign yourself as well if you are one of the Signees.

  • To get to this final step, after you have chosen the signature method and type, you can click on Send and sign if you are one of the Signees
    • Below is an example of how to use one of our most commonly chosen signature types "Sign with a click". You will be invited to confirm the signature by "long-pressing" the green confirmation button:

  • In case you have chosen that Only others will be signing the contract, you will be able to click on a green button called Send for signatures
  • And if you are the only one who will be signing, the button will be named Sign - when completed, your contract will transition from Pending to Signed

How can I sign a contract as a Recipient?

  • As a Recipient, you can select the signature type you prefer from a multiple-choice list the Sender has provided you with, or sign with the specific signature type they have selected for you
  • You can also Request changes in the contract sent to you if you want to replace the default requested signature type on the document 
    • Below is an example of completing the "Draw a signature" as a contract Recipient:

  • If you are not representing the only and last required in the contract signatures, be aware that the flow will look different than above, as the contract will still remain Pending. Below is this example when completing the signature with "SMS verification code" which is Contractbook default signature type:
