Trust Circle by ZealiD
Every client proves who they are with a passport or national ID before they see a single file. Then everyone signs with a qualified e-signature, the highest level under EU law.
Clients verify in about 3 minutes with a passport or national ID, with no video call. Change your plan any time.

Inside Trust Circle
Verify
Invite a client by email. They verify once in the ZealiD app with a passport or national ID, and the verification stays valid for two years.
Share
Each Trust Circle is a shared space for one client. Only the people in it can see the files, documents and signatures inside.
Sign
Start a signing round. Each signer scans a QR code with the ZealiD app and confirms with Face ID or Touch ID, and you see who has signed and who is next.
Control
Owners, admins and users each get clear permissions across your firm's Trust Circles.
How it works
Create a Trust Circle for the client and invite them by email.
An ID document check plus a liveness check in the ZealiD app, valid for two years.
Documents reach only verified people, and every signature is qualified under eIDAS.
