Method for electronically signing a document (10) by a user (20) by using a portable wireless communication device (30), whereby the method comprises the following steps:
providing a visual code (40) comprising encoded process information, whereby the process information comprises
connection information for connecting the portable wireless communication device (30) with a document management system (60) and
document identification information for identifying the document to be signed in said document management system (60);
capturing the visual code (40) with a camera of the portable wireless communication device (30);
decoding the process information from the captured visual code (40) with the portable wireless communication device (30);
triggering a capturing process for capturing the signature (50) of the user (20) after said decoding of the process information;
transmitting signature data of the captured signature (50) via a wireless link to said document management system (60) based on said connection information;
identifying the document to be signed in said document management system (60) based on said document identification information;
electronically embedding the received signature data into an electronic version of said document by said document management system (60).
