Entrust has partnered with Veyco to introduce a fully digital and secure document signing solution tailored for the property market. This collaboration combines advanced identity verification with Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES), enabling property professionals to execute contracts and legal documents entirely online. As the real estate sector continues to digitize, this integrated solution helps organizations align with evolving regulatory requirements while significantly improving fraud prevention and operational efficiency.

Notably, the timing of this launch is critical. Following recent moves by HM Land Registry to accept QES and encourage broader adoption, the industry is shifting toward more secure and efficient digital processes. Consequently, Entrust and Veyco are addressing a growing need for legally compliant, end-to-end digital transaction workflows that eliminate reliance on traditional paper-based systems.

The solution integrates ETSI TS 119 461-certified identity verification with QTSP-issued Qualified Electronic Signatures directly into Veyco’s Know Your Customer (KYC) platform. Under UK eIDAS regulations, QES carries the same legal weight as a handwritten signature. Therefore, this approach not only ensures compliance but also provides strong legal assurance for all parties involved in property transactions.

By combining identity verification and digital signing into a single workflow, the platform enables property professionals to meet critical compliance standards, including anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC requirements. At the same time, it removes the need for in-person verification, physical paperwork, and witnessed signatures. As a result, conveyancers, legal professionals, estate agents, buyers, and sellers can complete transactions more quickly and securely.

“Through collaboration with Entrust, HM Land Registry, and Your Conveyancer, we are making property transactions more secure and efficient for our clients,” said Simon Hughes, CTO and Director at Veyco. “Nationwide Building Society, one of the UK’s largest mortgage lenders, has become the first lender to leverage the integrated solution to enable a mortgage deed to be signed electronically, removing the need for a witness and wet-ink signature.”

In addition to enhancing compliance, the platform significantly accelerates transaction timelines. Traditional processes often involve printing, mailing, scanning, and manual follow-ups, which introduce delays and inefficiencies. However, by digitizing the entire workflow, the Entrust–Veyco solution eliminates these bottlenecks. Consequently, users can complete identity verification and document signing within minutes, all within a single application.

“QES and AI-powered identity verification are redefining how the property market combats fraud and accelerates transactions,” said Minh Nguyen, VP Identity Security at Entrust. “Our partnership with Veyco delivers a single, secure solution that empowers banks, mortgage lenders, estate agents, conveyancers, and legal firms to verify users with confidence and execute documents digitally with legal standing. Trust is defined in the moments of truth when access is granted, actions are decided, and identity is verified. By designing security around these moments of truth, organizations can better mitigate fraud and streamline digital experience for everyone.”

From a technical perspective, the process is designed to be both secure and user-friendly. Within the Veyco app, users verify their identity by capturing an image of their government-issued ID along with a short selfie video. The Entrust system then validates the authenticity of the document and matches biometric data to confirm identity. Once verified, users can review and sign documents instantly. A qualified certificate is issued through Namirial, the Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), ensuring the signature is legally binding and tamper-proof.

Ultimately, this partnership reflects a broader transformation in the property sector, where digital trust, compliance, and user experience are becoming central priorities. As regulatory frameworks evolve and fraud risks increase, solutions like this will play a crucial role in modernizing property transactions. By combining security, speed, and legal assurance, Entrust and Veyco are helping redefine how property deals are completed in a digital-first world.
