A Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is the most secure and legally binding form of e-signature under EU eIDAS regulations. Unlike simple or advanced e-signatures, QES requires strict identity verification, qualified certificates, and trusted providers, making it equivalent to a handwritten signature. QES is widely used in finance, healthcare, government, and other regulated industries where compliance and trust are essential.
