## Use Electronic Identification (eID)

Using eID signing ensures the correct recipient signs your document by requiring them to authenticate with their national digital ID. This process adds a verified personal identity number (personnummer) to the final signing certificate, meeting high legal and compliance standards.

## Option 1: Activate eID for your entire entity

Activating eID in your entity settings makes it the default signing option for every new recipient added to a contract. This does not automatically affect existing template roles.

1. Go to **Settings** and select **Signing** under Document settings.
2. Toggle on **Sign with electronic identification**.
3. Click **Save** at the bottom of the page.

## Option 2: Enable eID on specific recipients

You can require eID for individual recipients during the send-out process, even if your global settings are different.

1. Open your document draft and find the **Recipients** tab.
2. Click the three dots next to a recipient and select **Edit recipient details**.
3. Under **Signing method**, check the box for **Electronic identification**.
4. Click **Save**. The recipient card will now show a **lock icon**.

## Option 3: Enable eID on template roles

Enabling eID at the template level ensures that whenever a sender uses that template, the BankID requirement is automatically applied to the person assigned to that role.

1. Go to the **Content** library and open a template.
2. In the **Recipients** tab, click the three dots on a role and select **Edit template role**.
3. Check the box for **Electronic identification** and click **Save**.
