A qualified electronic signature is a type of electronic signature with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
In order for a qualified electronic signature to be valid, it must be certified with a qualified electronic signature certificate. Such a certificate makes it possible to verify the person who signs the document.
Signing with a qualified electronic signature based on a valid qualified certificate has the same legal effect as signing a document by hand.
It's also worth noting that making a declaration of intent in electronic form and then attesting it with a qualified electronic signature is equally binding as making a declaration in writing.
