Austria's Handy-Signatur is a mobile electronic identity and qualified electronic signature service, operated by the trust service provider A-Trust within the Austrian government's e-government framework. It lets citizens and residents log in to official services and sign documents online with the same legal weight as a handwritten signature. From December 2023 it has been succeeded by ID Austria, and existing Handy-Signatur users are migrated automatically the next time they log in.

Verification is app based. The person authenticates with their Handy-Signatur or ID Austria credentials, typically a username or mobile number together with a signature password, then approves the request on their phone with a one-time code. The service confirms a government-registered identity and returns verified attributes such as the person's given and family name, so you know you are dealing with a real, registered individual rather than someone reading details off a document.
Because the signature it produces is a qualified electronic signature under the EU eIDAS regulation, the result is legally recognised across the European Union, which makes it useful for both onboarding and binding digital agreements.
