Frequently asked questions
Is an electronic signature legally valid in Belgium?
Yes. As an EU participant in the eIDAS framework, Belgium recognises electronic signatures, and a qualified electronic signature (QES) has the same legal effect as a handwritten one. Belgium's qualified providers are published on its national trusted list, which is indexed by the EU List of Trusted Lists.
Who publishes Belgium's trusted list?
Belgium's trusted list is published by its national supervisory authority and referenced by the EU List of Trusted Lists, so a validator can resolve and trust it automatically.
How do I validate a Belgium electronic signature?
Check the signature against Belgium's national trusted list (via the EU LOTL): verify integrity, build the certificate chain, check revocation and any timestamp, and read the eIDAS level. Sealium does all of this in one /v1/validate API call and returns a structured report.
