Reusing Onfido verification data for QES in DocuSign

Hi everyone,

I’ve heard that DocuSign uses Onfido in some of its identity verification workflows.

My question is:
Is it possible to pass existing Onfido verification data (photo of the document & video with face) directly to DocuSign in the background, so that the user can generate a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) without going through the identity verification process again?

If yes, could someone share documentation or examples showing how to integrate this, ideally via API?

Thanks in advance!

No, this is not possible to reuse data from an existing verification in the described way. How would Docusign be able to verify that the submitting user of that data is actually who he claims or just a person that might have access to that data?

Depending on the identity verification done via Docusign, you may be able to create a wallet to use for subsequent QES without the need to identify yourself for 2-3 years (depending on the solution used) or until your document expires.
