A seal, however, is always bound to a legal entity, such as a company or another organization. An electronic signature, by contrast, is always assigned to a natural person. The organization issuing the seal must be registered with Validated ID. For a qualified signature, the organization must also have completed a separate identification process. Example: Before a contract is sent to the customer, the authenticity of the contract is confirmed by an automatic signature - the electronic company stamp. An employee's signature is not required. Read general information on the [service methods and parameters with Validated ID](/help/docs/service-methoden-und-parameter-mit-validated-id). The following methods are available for the electronic company stamp: - AddNewDocumentStamp This method sends **one file** of a document for signing with an **electronic company stamp**. The signature is placed at **one position**. - AddNewClippedDocumentStamp This method sends **multiple files** of a document for signing with **one electronic** company stamp. The signature is placed at **multiple positions**. For an overview, here are the same methods and information in table form: | Method | Description | Files | Signers | Signature positions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AddNewDocumentStamp | This method sends **one file** of a document for signing with an **electronic company stamp**. The signature is placed at **one position**. | 1 | 1 | 1 | | AddNewClippedDocumentStamp | This method sends **multiple files** of a document for signing with **one electronic** company stamp. The signature is placed at **multiple positions**. | multiple | 1 | multiple | #### AddNewDocumentStamp This method sends **one file** of a document for signing with an **electronic company stamp**.

It can be a text, date, or date/time field. If the field is a text field, the date is entered in UTC and displayed in DocuWare.

If no value is specified, the reference point is the top left corner of the page. | | | AnchorTextOccurrence (int) | Position | Integer | If the anchor text occurs several times in the document, this parameter specifies which occurrence is used to calculate the position. | - 0 or 1 = first occurrence of the anchor text - -1 = last occurrence - Other number = further occurrences | | PositionX (int) | Position | Integer | Specifies the horizontal position of the signature. The reference line is the left page margin or (when an anchor text is used) the left edge of the found text. Positive numbers are to the right of the reference line, negative numbers to the left. Values are in millimeters. | | | PositionY (int) | Position | Integer | Specifies the vertical position of the signature. The reference line is the top page margin or (when an anchor text is used) the top edge of the found text. Positive numbers are below the reference line, negative numbers above it.
