Instead the email will be submitted a customer contact point. Contact details will be required input when creating the signing order. The required information is: customer company name, customer organization number, contact person name and e-mail.

CVR and RID

Note about NemID medarbejdersignatur: If Signer is unable to provide the CVR and RID number, the User may check if the CVR and RID number are found in “Den offentlige certifikatdatabase”, available at: https://www.medarbejdersignatur.dk/produkter/nemid_medarbejdersignatur/nemid_selvbetjening/soeg_certifikat/.

“Den offentlige certifikatdatabase” is a free service from Nets DanID. In order to search for Signers certificate data (CVR nr. and RID nr.) the Sign-er’s certificate must be published to the public certificate database. Search shall be done based on the Signers e-mail Address, presumably work e-mail address.
If a match is found for the email address entered, the CVR nr. and RID nr. will be shown in the Serienummer attribute:

 If a match is not found, the reason may be that the certificate is not published to the public database. In this case the User should ask the Signer to retrieve the CVR and RID numbers from the self service available at: https://www.medarbejdersignatur.dk/produkter/nemid_medarbejdersignatur/log_paa_nemid_selvbetjening/
Certificate details with CVR and RID numbers is found under the “Min medarbejdersignatur”.

Document signing

The required steps in the creation of a signing order are described in detail here​. This section describes some of the basic elements involved in the creation of signing order.

Term​Description
National ID Number​​National ID number, sometimes referred to as Social Security Number (SSN), is a unique identifier used by the portal to identify a User or a Signer. This identifier is called “Fødselsnummer” in Norway, “Personnummer” in Sweden, “CPR-nummer” in Denmark and “Henkilötunnus” in Finland.
​Employee ID​Employee ID is a unique identifier used by the portal to identify a User or a Signer. The identifier is made of two components, the Employer ID and the Employee number. In Denmark, these two components are known as “CVR nr” and “RID nr” respectively.
​Multiple signatures​A document can be signed by one or more signers in parallel or serial signing. The portal supports up to 10 Signers at each step, and maximum 10 steps. The option of having more than one signature for a signing order may be disabled for your Company, thus removing this option from the “Create new order” page. Creating a signing order for multiple Signers will allow the Signers to sign the document in any order within the same step, or in serial order if more than one step is created. 
​E-Archive​The E-Signing Portal support integration with Nets E-Archive as an option. The integration is done at Nets and if this option is activated for your Company, all signed documents will be stored in Nets E-Archive.
​Identification before signing​Identification before signing is a function that allows the document to be protected from unauthorized access. If enabled, the Signers will be required to identify themselves before being presented with the document to be signed. For this reason, the Identification before signing is typically used when the content of the document to be signed is sensitive.
​Company signing​Company signing is another E-Signing Portal option. If activated for your Company, the “Create new order” page will include a Company signing check-box. If checked, the order will also be signed by one of your Company’s organizational eIDs. 
​PDF with form field signing​You can create a signing order containg a PDF form. The signer at first step will fill out and sign the PDF, and any other signers are not able to change the form
​ID-Rights ​In E-Signing Portal you can do searches through ID-Rights. ID-Rights provides you with official signature and procuration rights for all companies in the Nordics based on updated information from public registers.​
