DSC FAQ
Common questions before applying.
Which DSC should I choose?
Start with the applicant type and intended portal. Individual and Organisation requirements are different, and some portals have specific rules. Safe4Sign can help you identify the appropriate route before application.
Can I renew an expiring DSC?
Yes, renewal/reissue requirements can be supported, but the exact KYC and verification steps depend on the selected Certifying Authority’s current process.
Do I need a USB token?
Many DSC workflows use a compatible PKI token for certificate storage. The exact requirement depends on the certificate/product and intended use; confirm compatibility before purchase.
Is DGFT a separate Safe4Sign service?
No. DGFT-related digital-signature usage is handled as a DSC use case within Safe4Sign’s Digital Signature Certificate service.
