How digital signing works
Email with signature link: You will receive an email with a link to your contract documents; this is sent directly via the Yousign platform.Document review & upload: Read the documents carefully. For student apartments, there is an additional upload field for proof of education.
Video identification (Auto-Ident): You will be guided through an automated process to verify your identity. If you are using a different device, you will receive a QR code to conveniently continue the video identification process via smartphone.
Security & data protection
Yousign uses modern encryption technologies and stores data in highly secure data centres in Europe — in compliance with European data protection regulations. Once approved, identification data is stored for 3 years for security purposes; re-identification is required if, for example, the phone number/SIM can no longer be linked.Our tips for a smooth signing process
• Good lighting conditions for video identification (no direct backlighting).• Valid ID document (passport or identity card; driving licence does not count).
• Stable internet connection — ideally Wi-Fi or a constant mobile connection.
