Issuance of a certificate on-line

Your identity will be checked for the on-line issuance of a certificate for an electronic signature (without personal presence at the I.CA Registration Authority). This verification takes place through a special ZealiD application, which must be installed on your mobile device that supports Touch ID or Face ID biometric verification.

If you are interested in the on-line issuance of a certificate for a smart card, you can order it in our eshop.

The actual process of verifying the applicant's identity and issuing an electronic certificate takes place in several successive steps and includes:

1. Initial registration

As part of the initial registration, you will be asked to enter the basic information required for the subsequent registration process. The entered data will then be checked as part of the on-line verification process, so please check it properly before saving the registration.

The on-line process of issuing the certificate can be started 24 hours after successfully saving the registration for the next 3 days.

You will receive information about saving the registration by email with a link to start the on-line certificate issuance process.
