Receive and reuse extracted ID names after a failed Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) attempt
July 1st, 2025
Available from July 21
When a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) attempt fails due to a mismatch between the Signer’s provided name and the name extracted from their ID document, you will now be able to retrieve the extracted names and reuse them to retry the identification.
Here’s how it works:
- When the identification fails, you’ll receive the signer.identification_blocked (
link to API reference
) webhook containing the extracted first name (expected_first_name
) and last name (expected_last_name
). - Use the Unblock Signer endpoint (link to API reference):
POST /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/signers/{signerId}/unblock_identification
- Update the Signer with the extracted names using the dedicated endpoint (link to API reference):
PATCH /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/signers/{signerId}
⚠️ Please note: Once this feature goes live on July 21. For our existing customers, we will wait for your approval before giving you access to the feature, to avoid blocked Signers without the possibility of unblocking them with the right correction.
