Frequently asked questions

Yes, typically 15–30 seconds: upload document, designate the signatory, signer gets a notification. Signing with Mobile-ID or ID-card is just as fast. If internet is slow, it might take up to a minute.

Yes. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest (AES-256, the same standard used by banks). On top of that you get qualified eIDAS signing, a GDPR-compliant audit log of every action, a separate security events log, session management and passkey/WebAuthn support. You always see what happened to your documents and when.

Allkiro accepts PDFs, Word (DOC, DOCX), Excel (XLS, XLSX), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), OpenDocument (ODT, ODS, ODP), text files and images (JPG, PNG, HEIC), up to 40 MB per file. Signatures are wrapped into ASiC-E containers, which guarantee legal validity across the EU. You can bundle several related documents into a single container. Already-signed containers (.asice, .bdoc) can be uploaded too – Allkiro reads the contents and existing signatures, and you can collect more signatures on top.

Yes, until every party has signed. If nobody has signed yet, the container is simply cancelled. If some have, their signatures stay, the container remains downloadable and signers are notified. A given signature can't be removed — make a copy of the container and send that instead.

Yes, Allkiro uses eIDAS-compliant qualified e-signatures that are legally binding across the entire EU — whether you sign with Smart-ID, Mobile-ID or ID-card. Valid for: employment contracts, purchase agreements, rental agreements, service contracts and more.

Yes. Here's how: (1) Open allkiro.ee and click 'Register for free', (2) Log in with Smart-ID, Mobile-ID or an ID card, (3) Click 'New container', (4) Upload your document, (5) Add the signer, (6) Click 'Send for signing'. Done.

The dashboard shows real-time status of all your documents: pending signatures, completed contracts and upcoming deadlines, in an overview, a timeline and a calendar. From the Mini plan you can set deadlines. From Standard, signers get an automatic reminder about 3 days before the deadline, and you can send a reminder yourself at any time.

Yes. Allkiro produces qualified electronic signatures (QES) under the eIDAS regulation, which carry the same legal weight as a handwritten signature across the entire European Union. You can sign with Smart-ID or Smart-ID+ (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), Mobile-ID (Estonia, Lithuania) or an Estonian ID card (Web eID). Signatures are packaged into ASiC-E containers, so anyone can verify them outside Allkiro — in the DigiDoc4 client or the European Commission's DSS validator, for example.

Both. Parallel signing, where every party is invited at the same time, works on every plan. From Mini you can also sign sequentially, where the next signer is only invited once the previous one has signed. You set the order before sending. The container can carry a deadline (from Mini), and the dashboard shows exactly whose signature the process is waiting on.

Yes. The Allkiro free plan is free forever and needs no credit card: 3 signatures per month, 100 MB of storage, signing with Smart-ID, Mobile-ID and ID card, and download of the finished ASiC-E container. Paid plans add volume and team features — Mini (6 signatures per month, deadlines and workflows), Standard (20 signatures, 5 GB, shared folders and roles, automatic reminders, full-text search with OCR), Pro (30 signatures, 500 GB, unlimited members) and Enterprise (unlimited signatures, individual pricing).

Yes to both, from the Standard plan upward. Each signer gets an automatic reminder about 3 days before the deadline, and you can send one yourself whenever you like. Full-text search covers both file names and document contents, and OCR reads scanned files too, so you can find the right contract even when you only remember one sentence from inside it. Folders and tags keep a larger archive in order.

Yes. Every plan can create a team; inviting colleagues starts at Standard. Team members see the team's documents and folders, and folders can be shared with them. A team has two roles: the owner manages the subscription and members, and members work with the documents. Standard holds up to 5 members, Pro and Enterprise have no limit, and Enterprise adds sub-teams, so a department's contracts stay inside that department. Every action is written to the activity log.
