Legal affairs

Obligations and requirements to provide identification services

In the case of provision of qualified identification services such as issuing qualified certificates for electronic signatures, validation of qualified electronic signatures, storage of qualified electronic signatures etc., the entity must obtain qualified status. The supervisory authority – Information Society Inspectorate – must be notified of the intention to start providing qualified services. A conformity assessment report on compliance with the eIDAS Regulation issued by an accredited conformity assessment body must be obtained. The supervisory authority shall verify compliance with the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation, if it finds that the requirements are met, it shall grant the qualified trust status to the provider and enter it in the national list of providers. Qualified Trust Service Providers may begin providing qualified trust services after qualified trust status is listed on the trust list.
