Between 11:20 and 11:53 CEST on October 16, 2026, a third-party provider outage disrupted identity verification for Yousign's Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) flows and Verify document checks, preventing signers from completing verification steps. The Yousign application and API remained fully operational throughout, with all other signature features unaffected. The provider restored service at 11:53 CEST, all pending requests were successfully processed, and the incident was fully resolved by 12:11 CEST — lasting approximately 26 minutes in total.

Since 11:20 CEST (09:20 UTC), our third-party identity verification provider has been experiencing an incident affecting its services. The provider is aware of the issue and is actively working on a resolution. Our application and API remain fully available. However, the following features are currently impacted: - Identity verification during Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) flows - Identity document verification through Verify Signers may be unable to complete identity verification steps until the provider’s service is restored. All other signature levels and features are working normally. We are closely monitoring the situation with our provider and will share an update as soon as we have more information, or within the next 60 minutes at the latest.
