Yes and no, ZEDAL can also be used without a signature card.
According to current legislation, a qualified electronic signature is required for electronic transport declarations, confirmations of receipt and utilisation confirmations to authorities and business partners. If all parties involved in the transport sign electronically, there is no need to archive the paper forms.
The application form can be found in the service area of the ZEDAL portal.
You can use any card reader that can process electronic signature cards. You can order our ZEDAL RFID reader at www.zedal.de. It will be with you the next working day at the latest and comes with a replacement guarantee. Should it ever be defective, all you need to do is call or e-mail vertrieb@zedal.de and you will receive a replacement device free of charge.
Support is available on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. by telephone or via the ticket system in ZEDAL (telephone receiver symbol).
Yes, we provide two small plugins for the form display and for the electronic signature. The ZEDAL Forms Plugin and the TFS Plugin. Both are available in the service area of the portal under Downloads and can be used in terminal server environments.

In the regulation valid from 21.05.26, Annex VII must also be sent to the authorities as information for the first time. We have integrated this form into ZEDAL since 2012.
