Signaturit Group to Acquire Validated ID, Expanding European Digital Trust Services Portfolio

The strategic merger comes amid growing demand for secure digital transaction solutions, as highlighted in a recent World Bank policy note emphasizing e-signatures as key enablers of digital transactions. The deal is meant to position Signaturit to better serve this expanding market.

“This strategic move aligns perfectly with our vision to become the leading provider of digital trust services in Europe,” said Juan Zamora, Signaturit’s CEO. “By combining our strengths with Validated ID’s expertise, we are poised to offer even more comprehensive and innovative solutions to our clients.”

The merger is expected to deliver enhanced service offerings including advanced electronic signatures, digital identity verification, and secure document management. It will expand market presence in Spain while enabling growth into new European markets. The combination will integrate complementary technologies to create more robust digital trust services and increase competitive capability in the European market.

The timing of the acquisition coincides with significant developments in European digital identity frameworks, including the evolution from eIDAS to the proposed EUDI wallet system, indicating growing market opportunities in the digital trust services sector.

While financial terms remain undisclosed, the transaction awaits standard closing conditions and regulatory approvals, with completion expected in the coming months. The deal represents a significant development in Europe’s digital trust services landscape, particularly as businesses and organizations continue to digitize their operations.

The acquisition follows other notable developments in the European digital trust services market, such as IDnow’s recent certification as an EU e-signature provider, indicating growing competition and consolidation in the sector.
