Hello 
I subscribed to Docusign in order to sign an INPI document as it was said it is eIDAS compliant.
But INPI refused the document.

Hello ​@ms98267,

Thanks for reaching out to the Docusign Community!

I received your message. Thank you for providing the envelope ID. Could you please try the following steps:

  1. Enable the setting described here: Envelope Download

  2. Re‑download the files, making sure to download the Certificate of Completion and the signed document separately (do not combine them).

  3. Attempt validation again on INPI.

If validation still fails, we recommend opening a support case and including: 

  • A copy of the signed document you downloaded

  • The validation report from INPI

Additionally, please validate the document using the EU Validator and let us know whether it succeeds there compared to INPI.

If you get stuck or have more questions, we’re here.

I am having the exact same problem on the INPI site, it does list Docusign as issuing compliant eiDAS signatures and I’ve been going round in circles, ending with the same ‘invalid signature’ message.

I’m not sure I understand the message chain shown here - are the ‘Indeterminate’ test results shown the last response? Has anything been resolved, or will anything be resolved at some point? I’ve signed up to a subscription to see if that helped but it made no difference so I’m now out of pocket too.
