Get Your Qualified Electronic Signature Faster Through the Chamber of Commerce

Digitalisation is playing an increasingly important role in business and administrative processes. Contracts, tenders and official documents are now frequently signed electronically, including in dealings with public authorities. In this context, the Belgian Chambers of Commerce are expanding their long standing cooperation with GlobalSign: companies can now also obtain a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) through the Chamber of Commerce.

A trusted partnership, now extended

For many years, the Belgian Chambers of Commerce have worked closely with GlobalSign for the issuance of PersonalSign 3 Pro certificates, which are required for various electronic applications and transactions with public authorities. This trusted collaboration is now being extended to include qualified electronic signatures, the highest and most secure form of digital signature available within the European Union.

What is a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

A Qualified Electronic Signature is the strongest and most legally binding type of electronic signature under EU law. It fully complies with the eIDAS Regulation and offers the highest level of legal certainty.

A QES:

  • is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature,

  • is recognised across all EU Member States,

  • is issued only after strict identity verification,

  • includes your name and your organisation’s name, giving your signature clear professional and legal authority.

Because of these guarantees, an increasing number of companies choose a QES for important transactions, contracts and official documents where legal certainty is essential.

The benefits of obtaining your QES via the Chamber of Commerce

Thanks to the cooperation between the Chambers of Commerce and GlobalSign, you benefit from several practical advantages:

  • Fast delivery of your certificate
  • Personal guidance during validation
  • Security and full regulatory compliance
  • Digital, secure and efficient business processes

With a Qualified Electronic Signature obtained via the Chamber of Commerce, you benefit from a reliable, fast and legally robust solution for digital signing. This allows you to manage your administrative and business processes more efficiently, without compromising on security or legal certainty.
