CieSign Android

CieSign

The app developed by IPZS for advanced electronic signature with the CIE

Features & Capabilities

CieSign is the official app from the Italian State Printing Office and Mint (IPZS) for creating Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) using the Electronic Identity Card (CIE) on NFC‑equipped devices. It complies with the Prime Ministerial Decree (22 Feb 2013) and supports authentication and secure signing for public administration services and, where permitted, private transactions.

Register your CIE once by entering the PIN and holding the card to your device, then follow a guided flow to sign documents: select the document and signature type, enter the final four PIN digits (or use your chosen biometric mode), hold the CIE to the device, and share the signed file via email, messaging, or cloud storage. The app also supports adding a graphic signature and verifying signatures on signed documents. Accessibility information is provided via the included accessibility statement.

User Reviews

CieSign allows users to sign PDFs digitally by reading their electronic identity cards via NFC, with successful card association on some devices. However, many users report persistent issues such as failures in reading the card, app freezing, and problems granting permissions. Signature placement is often incorrect or limited to the first page, with no option to resize or import signatures. These functional and usability drawbacks significantly impact user experience, leading to difficulties in completing digital signing tasks effectively.
Pros
  • App successfully reads CIE (Carta d'Identità Elettronica) using NFC on some devices.
  • Allows signing PDF documents digitally.
  • Integration with CIEid works properly for card association.
  • App functions well after certain bugs have been fixed on some devices.
Cons
  • Frequent errors and failures in reading the CIE card or completing setup, especially on specific devices like Pixel 6 and Realme.
  • Issues with signature positioning: signatures appear only on the first page, cannot be positioned on desired pages or resized, and signature placement in the final document often doesn't match preview.
  • Permission and storage access problems prevent app from fully functioning or saving signed documents.
  • App sometimes freezes or gets stuck during card reading or permission granting processes.
  • Limited signature customization: inability to import external signatures and lack of transparency or resizing for graphical signatures.

che app di cacca funziona metà delle volte che la usi
by As*****, 2026-05-15

In sintesi: - Firmo e il certificato risulta non valido (anche dopo aver installato nuovamente l'applicazione e dopo aver registrato nuovamente la carta) - Non è possibile richiedere l'emissione di un nuovo certificato di autenticazione tramite l'applicazione. - Nelle impostazioni, quando clicco "Apri CIEID" risulta "Nessuna applicazione disponibile", nonostante l'applicazione sia correttamente installata sul dispositivo. - La registrazione della carta su entrambe le app mi sembra ridondante
