- Who acts?
- Which action?
- Tools and permissions
A person or an organisation?
A qualified signature identifies the person signing. A seal confirms the organisational origin and integrity of documents. Running a business does not automatically mean every task can be completed with a seal.
What does a KSeF certificate do?
A KSeF certificate is a tool for that system. Type 1 supports authentication. Type 2 is used to establish the issuer’s identity in special invoice-issuing modes outside the live system connection. It does not replace a general-purpose signature for PDF contracts.
Access versus permissions
Having your identity recognised is different from permission to act for an entity. An authorised person can act in a company’s context. We therefore establish the person’s role, entity and intended action before choosing the access method.
Prepare three answers
Tell me whether the matter concerns a person or an organisation, which application you use and whether you want to log in, issue an invoice or sign a document outside KSeF. Do not send invoices or login details. This is enough to begin a useful discussion.
The solution and your next questions
Explore the solution and supportDoes a seal replace a person’s signature?
A seal identifies an organisation and confirms a document’s origin and integrity. It does not replace a person’s signature where their declaration is required.
Can a KSeF certificate sign an ordinary contract?
A KSeF certificate has purposes within that system. Do not choose it as a replacement for a general qualified signature for contracts and other files.
Keep the preparation checklist.
