Registered Electronic Delivery
Accredited conformity assessment of qualified electronic registered delivery services under eIDAS and the applicable ETSI standards.
Who needs this — and why
A registered electronic delivery service reaches qualified status the same way every eIDAS trust service does: through accredited conformity assessment of the service as it actually operates.
Registered electronic delivery services provide trusted evidence that electronic data has been sent and received, protecting the integrity of the communication as well as the identities of both sender and recipient. They are widely used wherever legally reliable electronic communication replaces traditional registered mail.
Trust depends on every stage of the delivery process, from identification and transmission to the generation and preservation of electronic evidence. The assessment therefore covers the complete service rather than individual messaging components.
Because every service differs in architecture and intended use, every assessment begins by defining the appropriate scope.
Trusted electronic delivery
Registered delivery relies on secure identification, protected message transmission and reliable electronic evidence. Our auditors combine accredited assessment with practical security expertise to verify that delivery processes and supporting controls consistently satisfy the requirements for qualified trust services.
What the certification covers
Our assessment covers the complete lifecycle of a registered electronic delivery service, from sender and recipient identification to message transmission, evidence generation and ongoing operation. We examine how communications are protected, how proof of sending and receipt is created and preserved, and how the service maintains the integrity and confidentiality of electronic data.
The assessment also includes the wider governance and security framework supporting the service, including operational procedures, incident handling, cryptographic controls, supplier relationships and change management. Rather than reviewing individual controls in isolation, we evaluate how the service functions as a whole and whether objective evidence demonstrates that technical and organisational controls operate consistently in practice.
Standards & articles
Registered electronic delivery services are assessed against the applicable requirements of the eIDAS framework and its supporting ETSI standards.
This may include:
- Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (Articles 43–44)
- ETSI EN 319 521
- ETSI EN 319 401
- Applicable national supervisory requirements
The exact assessment scope depends on the characteristics of the registered delivery service and is agreed with you during scoping, before the assessment begins.

Request an assessment
If you are planning a new registered electronic delivery service, preparing for supervisory assessment or reviewing an existing service, we can help define the assessment scope and explain what evidence will be required before the conformity assessment begins.
Your first conversation will be with an experienced eIDAS auditor who will discuss your service, its operational model and the most appropriate assessment path.
