Trust is built into everything we do.
Scrive is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) under the EU eIDAS regulation, providing Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES), the highest legal standard for electronic signatures in the EU.
Our platform is designed for organisations where security, compliance and reliability are essential. And our expertise goes beyond technology. Scrive brings together legal, technical and industry-specific knowledge to help customers navigate the demands of modern agreement management.
From finance and mobility to telecom, real estate and beyond, we understand that different industries come with different requirements.
Expertise you can rely on
"If we hadn't worked with you guys on this, we would have been stuck with a process that wouldn't meet customer demand or expectations at all."
“Scrive makes my job so much easier! Having the ability to scale to a growing number of countries with one integration rather than having to work on a new integration for weeks or months for each eID is what makes me crazy about your product.”
“We never have to do all the tedious administration. Instead we are able to focus on helping our customers.”

"Where digital identities meet flawless signatures – shaping the ultimate secure customer experience"
From simple signing to smarter agreements
Scrive was founded in Stockholm in 2010 by two university friends who wanted to make it possible for international performers to sign talent agreements remotely.
What started as a simple way to sign documents quickly grew into something much bigger. We recognised that signing is only one part of the agreement process, and that businesses need a better way to manage everything around it.
Today, Scrive helps organisations across Europe and beyond make things simpler, more secure and easier to get done. All with the same principles that started it all.

What does Scrive mean?
Over the years, many people have assumed Scrive’s name is a play on the English word “scribe”, the term for someone who copies documents or writes things down.
The real story is a little different and a little funnier.
Scrive was originally called Skriva På – Swedish for signing off on, or writing on something. But when it was time to set up a website, the URL (www.skrivapa.se) caused some confusion. More than a few people read it as “Skriv Apa” or “Write Monkey”.
The misunderstanding was entertaining enough to inspire drawings of a hypothetical monkey mascot by Scrive employees. But in the end, the name was simplified to Scrive, avoiding confusion and making it easier for an international audience.
