eParaksts: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

eParaksts is the Latvian national electronic identity and electronic signature service. Latvian residents use it to sign documents, log in to online services and create qualified electronic signatures, either through the eParaksts mobile app or with a smart card and reader. Signing platforms integrate the service to offer Latvian signatures within their own workflows.

The service is operated by the Latvian State Radio and Television Centre (LVRTC, Latvijas Valsts radio un televīzijas centrs), a state joint-stock company based in Riga, Latvia, so both the operator and the headquarters are in the EU. Integrator documentation describes the mobile service as a qualified signature creation tool under eIDAS. The company's public materials do not state where customer data is hosted, and the service is not open source. For a European organisation it is an EU-based option whose trust framework is set by Latvian law and eIDAS; the data-hosting location should be confirmed with the operator before use.

Why digital sovereignty matters with eParaksts

eParaksts is headquartered in LV and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so eParaksts scores best on data residency.

eParaksts is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs eParaksts together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
