Universign

Universign is a long-running French Qualified Trust Service Provider originally founded in 2001 as **Cryptolog International** in Paris — one of the earliest French entrants in qualified electronic signatures, time stamping, and certificate authority services under the eIDAS framework (and ANSSI's national supervision). The platform built a strong reputation for QES (Qualified Electronic Signature) workflows used by French banks, insurance carriers, and public-sector buyers; before consolidation it operated as one of the four legacy French QTSPs alongside Yousign and Docaposte. As of audit time **universign.com 301-redirects to signaturit.com**: Universign has been **consolidated into the Signaturit Group** — itself now a **Namirial Italian company** — and operates as one of four QTSPs inside the unified group. This consolidation simplifies procurement: a single contracting relationship gives buyers access to French ANSSI-attested QES via the Universign-legacy infrastructure, Spanish QTSP capabilities from the original Signaturit Solutions stack, and EBSI-prepared digital identity from the 2025-acquired Validated ID asset. The aggregate group sits inside the EU regulatory framework with Italian + Spanish + French national bars covered. Best fit: existing Universign customers retained through the consolidation; French enterprises specifically requiring ANSSI-recognised QES; multi-country EU regulated workflows (financial services, insurance, public administration) that benefit from the consolidated multi-QTSP umbrella. Pricing is enterprise / volume-based and aligned with the broader Signaturit Group catalogue — see the parent listing for category context. Procurement-grade EU-only buyers can select either Universign-branded contracting or Signaturit-branded contracting under the same Namirial parent without ownership-tier differences.
