Electronic Certificate: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to obtain an electronic certificate to sign government forms online and manage your official administrative tasks from home.

An electronic certificate is a digital tool that allows you to sign official documents and government forms online with the same legal validity as a handwritten signature.

Who it's for

This scheme is available to everyone, including all citizens and business owners.

What you get

Once you have it, you gain the ability to sign all types of government forms online. This allows you to handle administrative tasks and official paperwork through the internet rather than visiting an office in person.

What it costs you

While the certificate itself is a tool for your digital identity, obtaining it requires a one-time in-person visit to a registration office to verify your identity.

The catch to know

The certificate is not permanent; it expires after 4 years. Additionally, if you lose your password, the renewal process can be difficult.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official website to start your application.
  2. Follow the instructions to download the necessary files.
  3. Visit a registration office in person to verify your identity.
  4. Complete the installation on your computer.
