What is it?

Digital signature grants legal validity to a signature made in the digital medium, same as a handwritten signature on a document at a notary's office.

A digital signature has related digital certificates that attest to the signer's identity, ensuring both the integrity of the information and the validity of electronic documents.

How to Signing?

You can digitally sign any document in PDF format using the digital signature certificates of the National Identification Card (CNI) or the Cape Verde Mobile Digital Key (CMDCV).

Signing documents with the CNI requires an enabled digital signature, a smart card reader, installed middleware, and the signature PIN.

Meanwhile, the digital signature with the CMDCV is made in Autentika, and requires an activated CMDCV and the respective digital signature, and a corresponding PIN from the citizen.
