Digitale Unterschriften, gedacht für den EU-Markt.
A default flow that supports eIDAS simple electronic signatures, and a WhatsApp-verified track designed toward Advanced Electronic Signature (AES).
Where this fits
- Most e-signature tools German and EU businesses find are US-built, priced in dollars, and never mention eIDAS at all
- "Is this legally valid in the EU?" is a real question most vendors don't answer clearly
- Some agreements genuinely need more than a basic electronic signature can prove
Why Docracy
Docracy's default signing flow is designed to support EU eIDAS simple electronic signatures for everyday business documents. For agreements that need more, the WhatsApp-verified track binds the signing link to a specific phone number, requires a PIN unique to that signer, and records delivery/read receipts — evidence designed to meet the eIDAS criteria for an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES): unique linkage, signatory identification, sole control, and tamper-evidence.
eIDAS-minded by default
The standard signing flow is built with EU simple electronic signature requirements in mind.
WhatsApp-verified AES track
Phone-bound delivery, a required PIN, and a full delivery/read audit trail.
No account for signers
Recipients across the EU sign from a link — nothing to register for.
Transparent trust page
Cloudflare infrastructure, data handling, and exactly what is and isn't covered, documented publicly.
Docracy is not a Qualified Trust Service Provider and doesn't issue Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) — for agreements that legally require a QES, you'll need a certified QTSP provider instead.

Frequently asked questions
Do the people I send documents to need a Docracy account?
No — only the sender needs an account, so document history, saved templates, and team access have somewhere to live. Whoever's signing opens a link and signs, no signup required.
Which documents can I send?
Ready-made templates for this include Mutual NDA, Freelance Service Agreement, Consulting Agreement. You can also upload your own PDF.
How much does it cost?
Free for documents with up to 2 signers. Beyond that it's a flat $10/month — never priced per seat — which also unlocks reusable templates, team accounts, and the integrations mentioned above.
How fast can someone actually sign?
Under a minute in most cases: they open the link, review the document, and sign — no account to create, no app to install. WhatsApp delivery adds a phone-bound PIN step for extra assurance when that matters.
What doesn't Docracy do here?
