# Get E-Sign (QES) verification results

# Overview

Use this method to get the results of the [Qualified Electronic Signature Verification](https://docs.sumsub.com/sumsub/docs/qualified-electronic-signature-qes-verification).

## Required permissions

To use this method, your [app token](https://docs.sumsub.com/sumsub/docs/app-tokens) must have the **View check results** [permission](https://docs.sumsub.com/sumsub/docs/user-roles#permissions).

# Request example

```curl
curl -X GET \
     'https://api.sumsub.com/resources/checks/latest?type=E_SIGN' \
     -H 'accept: application/json' \
     -H 'X-App-Token: <your-app-token>' \
     -H 'X-App-Access-Sig: <your-signature>' \
     -H 'X-App-Access-Ts: <unix-timestamp>'
```

# Response explained

The response represents a singleton list of `checks`.

## Root variables

The root variables are the core `E_SIGN` check result data items. Some of them may include nested attributes and element fields.
