Buying a DSC

Which class of DSC do I need?

Only Class 3 certificates are issued in India now. They are accepted on MCA, GST, Income Tax, EPFO, tender portals and DGFT.

What is the difference between Signing and Encryption?

A signing certificate proves who signed a document. An encryption certificate locks a document so only the intended portal can open it. Tender portals often need both.

Do I need a USB token?

Yes. A DSC must be stored on a FIPS certified USB token. Add one to your order or use a token you already own.

Documents and video verification

What documents do I need?

Individuals need PAN, Aadhaar or another ID, and a photo. Organisations also need organisation proof, an authorisation letter and an organisation ID card. See Documents required for the full list.

What is video verification?

A short recorded video in the SignX app where you show your original ID and read out a number. It is required by the Certifying Authority for every certificate.

My document was rejected. What now?

Open your order, read the reason and upload a clearer copy. Review restarts right away.

Orders and delivery

Do I need an account?

No. You can check out as a guest. We email you a private link to your order, invoice and document upload.

How do I track my order?

Open your order from your account or from the link in your confirmation email. Shipped orders show the courier and tracking number.

When do I get my software licence?

Our team adds the licence details to your order after payment and emails you when they are ready.

Payments and invoices

How can I pay?

Cards, UPI and netbanking through Razorpay.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. Every order has a printable invoice on your order page.

What is your refund policy?

See the refund and cancellation policy. DSC orders can be cancelled for a refund before the application is sent to the Certifying Authority.
