Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) Online in India

Q: What is the validity of a Digital Signature Certificate?

A digital signature certificate is typically issued for a validity period of 1, 2, or 3 years. After this period, you will need to renew it. The digital signature certificate rules dictate these validity periods.

Q: Can I have multiple DSCs?

Yes, you can have multiple digital signature certificates, especially if you need different types (e.g., a Sign DSC for personal use a Sign & Encrypt DSC for business, or a specialized digital signature certificate for NRI status for specific needs). Each DSC will be associated with a unique private key.

Q: What should I do if my DSC is lost or compromised?

If your digital signature certificate token is lost, or stolen, or you suspect it has been compromised, you must immediately report it to your Certifying Authority (CA). They will revoke your existing DSC to prevent unauthorized use, and you will then need to apply for a new one.

Q: How do I use my DSC to sign documents?

You will need a USB crypto token (a physical device that stores your DSC) and specific software (like Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDFs or utilities provided by the CA) to use your digital signature certificate for signing documents. When you sign, you'll typically insert your token, enter your PIN, and select the certificate you wish to use.

Q: Is a DSC required for NRIs and foreign nationals?

Yes, NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and foreign nationals who conduct business or have other legal requirements in India that necessitate digital signatures (e.g., company directorships, property transactions, tax filings) will also need to obtain a digital signature certificate for NRIs. The application process might involve specific documentation requirements and verification procedures tailored for non-residents.
