Electronic signature certificate applications require prescribed fees, certification disclosures, enquiries, recorded reasons, and a fair pre-rejection hearing.

Any person may apply for an electronic signature certificate in the prescribed form, with the prescribed fee and a certification practice statement or other required statement of particulars. The Certifying Authority may conduct appropriate enquiries and grant or reject the application after considering the submitted material. A rejection must be supported by recorded reasons, and the applicant must receive a reasonable opportunity to show cause before the proposed refusal.
