My Documents
The "My Documents" section shows all individual documents (PDF, XML, ASiC-E…) uploaded to your account. You can filter documents by status and sort them by date.
Document States
The document has been uploaded but does not yet contain any signature.
The document has been successfully signed.
Available Document Actions
- Sign — Sign the document with your own qualified signature using the Autogram app or eIdentita.
- Request Signature — Send the document to other people for signing via email — the system creates a bundle and sends invitations.
- Add Timestamp — Add a qualified timestamp to a document that already has a signature without one.
- Download — Download the signed document to your device.
- Delete — Permanently remove the document. A document that is part of a bundle cannot be deleted individually.
My Bundles
A bundle is a collection of one or more documents sent to recipients for signing. Here you will find all bundles you have created.
Creating a Bundle — Step by Step
-
1

Download Signed Documents
Once the bundle is completed, you can download the signed file directly from the bundle detail page.
Bundle States
The bundle has been sent to recipients, but not everyone has signed yet.
All required recipients have signed the documents in the bundle.
At least one recipient declined to sign.
The bundle was created but has no recipients added yet.
Signing Rules
All Must Sign
The bundle is completed only when all added recipients have signed.
Any One Signature Is Enough
The bundle is completed as soon as any single recipient signs.
Minimum Number of Signatures
You can set an exact number of recipients who must sign for the bundle to be considered completed.
Public Signing Link
For each bundle you can generate a public signing link that allows anyone to sign — without being added as a recipient.
Received Bundles
The "Received Bundles" section shows all bundles you have been invited to sign — whether by email or via a public link.
Your States in a Received Bundle
You have been invited and have not yet signed.
You have successfully signed the documents in this bundle.
You declined to sign the documents in this bundle.
The bundle was completed without your signature — e.g. based on an "any one" signing rule.
Declining a Signature Request
During signing you may decline the signature request. The bundle sender will receive an email notification about the decline.
Signing Documents
When signing a document, you choose the signature level and format. Then you select a supported signing application.
Signature Levels
Without Timestamp (BASELINE_B)
Qualified electronic signature without a timestamp. Under civil law this is equivalent to a handwritten signature.
With Timestamp (BASELINE_T)
Qualified electronic signature with a qualified timestamp. De facto equivalent to a notarised signature. Recommended for documents requiring long-term validity.
Signature Formats
PAdES
Signature embedded directly inside the PDF file. Ideal for standard PDF documents — the signed output remains a .pdf file.
XAdES + ASiC-E
Signature for XML documents (e.g. Slovak eForms). If needed, you can use ASiC-E as the container output.
CAdES + ASiC-E
The signature creates a wrapping .p7s file. If needed, you can use ASiC-E as the container output for any file format.
Signing Methods
Autogram Desktop
Desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that communicates with a smart card or eID device connected to the computer.
Autogram Mobile (AVM)
Mobile application for iOS and Android. Sign documents on a smartphone using mobile eID.
eIdentita
Slovak government signing app for mobile devices. Available on the App Store and Google Play.
Qualified signing — what to expect
Before signing, onboarding walks you through a few checks required for creating a qualified electronic signature.
- Select your exact QSCD device (most commonly eID, but also residence permit cards).
- Confirm that you know your security codes (BOK/PIN/KEP PIN depending on card type).
- Confirm that your signing certificates are issued on the card.
