Signature applications

Signature applications are programs that enable you to sign an electronic document.

There are some daily use programs, such as Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word, that allow you to sign the same document that is generated. However, this type of firm has two drawbacks:

• Not all the programmes that produce documents are also capable of signing them.
• In general, the addressee of the signed document must have the same application in order to be able to verify the signature.

Specific electronic signature tools or applications are able to sign any kind of electronic document and help overcome the above drawbacks. They can also be downloaded free of charge.

Below you can find the AutoSignature app, offered by the Public Administration, which will help you sign documents.
