eIDAS qualified service

tNoticeQ — eIDAS qualified electronic registered delivery, art. 44

tNoticeQ is the Qualified Electronic Registered Delivery Service (SERCQ) of inPoste.it S.p.A., compliant with EU Regulation 910/2014 (art. 44). It is the only tNotice service included in the European qualification.

What SERCQ is

The four guarantees of the qualified service

tNoticeQ rests on four normative and technical elements set by the eIDAS Regulation for qualified trust services.

Regulatory framework

Legal presumption under eIDAS art. 43.2

The European regulation presumes data integrity, sending by the identified sender, receipt by the identified recipient, and accuracy of the date and time of communications transmitted with a SERCQ.

Identification

Mandatory eID identification

Sender and recipient are identified via SPID or CIE. The same identification required for higher-trust public digital services.

Seals

Qualified seal and time stamp

Every relevant piece of evidence — receipts, logs, delivery confirmations — is signed with a qualified electronic seal and bears a qualified time stamp.

Preservation

Compliant evidence preservation

Evidentiary records are preserved compliantly for the period set by sector regulation, under the applicable QeRDS CP-CPS.
