# Start using Signicat Express

To start using Signicat Express, sign up for a free test account. This will allow you to obtain your API credentials and start testing our solutions.

Create a free account

When you're ready to start using Signicat Express in production, follow the instructions in Upgrading to production.

# Logging in to the developer dashboard

If you have a free test account, log in to the test developer dashboard at dashboard-test.signicat.io (opens new window).
If you are already in production, log in to the developer dashboard at dashboard.signicat.io (opens new window).

The login process is the same in both cases:

  1. Click Log in.
  2. Choose the identification method you used to sign up.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
