WPsigner is for simple electronic signatures (FES/SES) under eIDAS and the CAD — B2B contracts, NDAs, HR acknowledgments — with audit evidence on your WordPress server. It is not AgID-accredited and does not issue FEQ or firma digitale.

Start with the required signature level—not the signing tool. This quick guide shows where a WPsigner SES workflow may fit and where it does not.
Does the transaction require FEQ, firma digitale, AgID accreditation, or another prescribed form?
WPsigner may fit
If Italian law does not require FEQ or firma digitale, WPsigner can support a simple electronic signature (FES/SES) workflow with intent, consent, document hashes, and audit evidence.
Common SES use cases
Use a higher-assurance route
WPsigner is not AgID-accredited and does not issue FEQ or firma digitale. When Italian or EU law requires those levels, use an accredited Italian certifier or the required offline form.
Practical orientation only—not legal advice. The required signature level depends on the document, parties, and applicable law.
Between the eIDAS levels and Italy's CAD (Legislative Decree 82/2005), supervised by AgID, teams must understand what kind of signature they are collecting. Per-envelope SaaS tools rarely give you data residency control on WordPress.
Italy distinguishes simple, advanced and qualified electronic signatures plus the Italy-specific firma digitale. Each level carries different evidentiary weight, assessed by the judge under article 20 of the CAD — choosing the wrong one for a high-stakes act creates legal risk.
Italy's Codice dell'Amministrazione Digitale (Legislative Decree 82/2005) and AgID supervision interact with the EU-wide eIDAS regulation. Teams need clear records and counsel — not marketing claims dressed as legal advice.
Contracts, NDAs, and HR forms often contain personal data. Keeping signed PDFs on your own WordPress host — with an Italian or EU provider — helps Italian companies stay closer to their existing GDPR posture, with no US cloud transfers.
Send B2B agreements and accepted quotes from your site. Clients sign from a secure link — no WordPress account required.
Protect early talks and supplier relationships with fast confidentiality agreements stored on your Italian or EU-hosted server.
Collect policy acknowledgments and internal HR forms with audit trails your team can file alongside existing records.
Formalize service terms and multi-page consent packets with reusable templates — unlimited volume on a flat fee.
Signed documents stay on your WordPress server. Choose an Italian or EU host (Aruba, Seeweb, or any EU provider), backups, and access policy that match how you already handle GDPR.
WPsigner captures signer intent, consent, IP, and timestamps in a tamper-evident audit trail — the kind of evidence that strengthens a simple electronic signature (FES) for everyday B2B contracts, NDAs, and HR acknowledgments.
One $99/year license with unlimited signatures. Predictable cost for Italian SMEs that sign regularly without enterprise SaaS pricing.
Upload the plugin, activate your license, and you are ready in minutes — no separate signing platform to host.
Add PDFs for contracts, NDAs, or consent packs. Place signature, date, and text fields where counterparties need to complete them.
Share a secure signing link by email. Download the signed PDF with its audit trail and retain it under your document policy.
Compatible: simple electronic signature (FES/SES) workflows under eIDAS and the CAD for most private and commercial documents that do not require a qualified or digital signature — B2B contracts, proposals, NDAs, vendor onboarding, HR acknowledgments, and client terms. WPsigner captures intent, consent, IP/device metadata, document hashes, and optional RFC 3161 timestamps in a tamper-evident audit trail. OTP or optional KYC can strengthen identification when risk warrants it.
Not compatible / not a substitute for: (1) FEQ (qualified electronic signature) — WPsigner is not a QTSP and is not AgID-accredited; (2) firma digitale (Italian qualified digital signature based on asymmetric cryptography); (3) high-stakes acts that Italian law requires in FEQ/firma digitale form (e.g. certain real-estate or public-administration documents); (4) FEA claimed automatically from a plugin alone; (5) wet-ink where still mandated. For FEQ or firma digitale, use an accredited Italian certifier.
No — and we want to be clear about it: WPsigner is not a qualified trust service provider, is not AgID-accredited, and does not issue FEQ or firma digitale. WPsigner handles FES/SES workflows with tamper-evident audit trails. For documents that legally require a qualified or digital signature, use a qualified provider.
At a high level: FES (simple) is the baseline — what WPsigner provides; FEA (advanced) must be uniquely linked to and capable of identifying the signer and detect later changes; FEQ (qualified) relies on a qualified certificate and a secure creation device. The firma digitale is a specific Italian qualified signature. High-stakes acts may require FEQ or firma digitale; many everyday B2B contracts can rely on FES.
No. This page is informational marketing, not legal advice. eIDAS and CAD requirements depend on the type of act, the parties, and the signature level, and evidentiary weight is assessed by the judge under article 20 of the CAD. Consult qualified Italian counsel before relying on any tool for a specific transaction.
Plans start at $99/year with unlimited signatures on your WordPress site — far more predictable than per-envelope SaaS pricing. Documents stay on your own server, in Italy or the EU.
Choose an annual or lifetime license with unlimited documents and no per-envelope fees. Keep control of your data and signing workflows.
