What is a ‘qualified certificate’?

A qualified certificate is a certificate issued by a qualified trust service provider that contains specific items of information as defined in Annexes I, III and IV of the eIDAS Regulation. The crucial quality features defining a qualified certificate are:

that the identity of the natural or legal person that issued the certificate is reliably verified;
and that stringent requirements apply to the trust service provider and especially to the technical components used by that provider.
