CieSign

CieSign is the app developed by the Italian State Printing Office and Mint for advanced electronic signature (AES) with the Electronic Identity Card (CIE) and devices equipped with an NFC interface.

Article 61 of the Prime Ministerial Decree of February 22, 2013, permits the use of the CIE as an advanced electronic signature tool for public administration services and activities.

The CIE, widely used as a strong identification method for authentication for public administration services, fully meets the minimum requirements established for the AES and can also be used as an electronic signature tool between private individuals within the limits of the law.

When you launch the app for the first time, register your CIE by entering your PIN and holding the card close to your device.

From now on, a guided procedure will allow you to easily sign your electronic documents whenever you want:

- SELECT the document and the type of signature you want to use

- ENTER the last 4 digits of your CIE PIN (or activate the biometric recognition mode you've chosen)

- HOLD the CIE to your device

- SHARE the signed document via email, messaging app, or cloud storage

You can also add your graphic signature and verify the signature on the documents.

Remember: the first part of the PIN is provided to you by the Municipality when you request the CIE; the second part is delivered with the Card.
