# Qualified Electronic Signature

The Qualified Electronic Signature module shows the user documents to sign, collects their consent, and captures a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES), the highest-assurance electronic signature under the [EU eIDAS Regulation](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/910/oj/eng). A qualified certificate from a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) backs the signature, making it legally equivalent to a handwritten signature across EU member states.
