# First steps with Skribble

## New to Skribble? Great to have you on board! In this guide, you’ll find all you need to set up a Skribble account and get started with signing.

- **Step 1: Creating a Skribble account**

 You can create a Skribble account in just a few minutes. [Check out how it works. ](https://help.skribble.com/de/-en-creating-account?hsLang=de)

- **Step 2: Unlocking e-signature standards**

To sign with one of the e-signature standard, you’ll need to [increase the legal weight of your e-signature](https://help.skribble.com/de/en/increase-legal-weight?hsLang=de). You can do this in your profile. 

**Note: **You may need to get identified to unlock signing with QES.   
[Learn more about getting identified](https://help.skribble.com/de/en/why-verify-identity?hsLang=de).

- **Step 3: Creating visual signature (optional)**

When signing with Skribble, you can add and customise the visual representation of your handwritten signature next to your e-signature. [This is how it works. ](https://help.skribble.com/de/-en-creating-visual-signature?hsLang=de)

When signing with Skribble, you can upload and customise your handwritten signature as a visual representation in addition to your e-signature. [Learn how it works](https://help.skribble.com/de/-en-creating-visual-signature?hsLang=de).

**Good to know:** Visual signature is optional and doesn't affect the legal weight of your e-signature.

- **Step 4: Signing with e-signature standards QES, AES & SES **

Signing with Skribble is easy as 1, 2, 3, no matter if you sign with the qualified (QES) or advanced (AES) electronic signature. Check our videos below to see it for yourself.

- **Step 6: Downloading a document**

Need to archive your signed documents? In this case, we recommend you [download](https://help.skribble.com/de/-en-downloading-a-document?hsLang=de) them right after they are signed.
