Digital Signature Certificate issuance requires prescribed application, certification disclosures, key verification, and a fair opportunity before rejection.

Applications for a Digital Signature Certificate must be made in the prescribed form, with the prescribed fee and a certification practice statement or other required statement. Issuance depends on verification that the applicant holds a functional private key corresponding to the listed public key and that the public key can verify signatures created by that private key. Rejection requires recorded reasons and a reasonable opportunity for the applicant to show cause.
