# Advanced Electronic Signature

The Advanced Electronic Signature module shows the user documents to sign, collects their consent, and captures a certificate-backed electronic signature. That digital certificate verifies their identity, making the signed document legally binding and compliant.

For an overview of this module and how it works, see [Advanced Electronic Signature](https://developer.incode.com/docs/advanced-electronic-signature).

| **_Allow user to upload document_**                     | Allows the user to upload the document they want signed instead of using a document preconfigured in the session.                                                                                                                                          |
| **_Allow user to download document_**                   | Allows the user to download the signed document.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| **_Issue Permanent Certificate_**<br />_Workflows only_ | Issues a permanent digital certificate for the signing event. {/* TODO: Confirm with PM — clarify what "permanent" means here vs. the default certificate behavior, and any compliance or provisioning implications */}                                    |
| **_Allow AES without score validation_**                | Allows the advanced electronic signature to be completed without requiring a minimum identity verification score. Use this when you want to permit signing regardless of the user's verification result.                                                   |
| **_Validation to skip_**<br />_Flows only_              | Lets you disable specific verification requirements before signing is allowed. {/* TODO: Confirm with PM — confirm the full list of available options (e.g., total score, ID verification, face recognition, OTP) and the behavior when one is skipped */} |
