A Document Signer Certificate lets an organisation sign large numbers of documents automatically through software, for example invoices, salary slips, certificates or statements.
How it differs from a personal DSC
| Class 3 DSC | Document Signer | |
|---|---|---|
| Issued to | A person | An organisation |
| Signing | Manual, one document at a time | Automated, from a server or application |
| Key storage | USB token | As the CA requires, commonly a Hardware Security Module (HSM) for Class 3 |
Before you apply
- Confirm your signing software or vendor supports the certificate format you'll receive
- Plan who controls the signing server and keys
- Keep organisation documents and an authorisation letter ready
Requirements, formats and pricing vary by CA. Enquire on WhatsApp
