Digital Signature Certificate Process in Chennai

Step 1: Eligibility Verification & Document Check

Laams starts by identifying the appropriate DSC class based on your use case—such as Class 3 for general use, or DGFT DSC for import-export (IEC Registration) activities.
We collect and verify required documents like:

  • PAN and Aadhaar of the applicant
  • Passport-sized photo (if applicable)
  • Authorization letter (for organizations)

Step 2: Aadhaar-Based e-KYC or Video Verification

To verify your identity, we assist you in completing one of the following :

  • Aadhaar OTP-based e-KYC
  • Live video verification through a secure platform, as mandated by Certifying Authorities (CAs)

Step 3: DSC Application Submission

We file your DSC request with a government-authorized Certifying Authority (CA) such as eMudhra, Sify, or Capricorn, ensuring correct certificate type and validation period.

Step 4: Token Delivery / Download Access

Once approved:

  • You will receive your USB token containing the DSC (for physical version),
  • You’ll be provided with a digital download link if you’ve opted for a paperless DSC version

Step 5: Usage Support

Laams provides full guidance in configuring and using your DSC for:

  • GST Return filings
  • ROC compliance (MCA21 portal)
  • ITR submissions
  • EPFO & DGFT transactions and other government portals as required.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Digital Signature Application

1. Wrong Certificate Class Selection

Different use cases require specific DSC types. We help you choose the correct class.

2. Unclear or Expired Documents

Uploading poor-quality scans or expired ID proofs leads to rejection. We pre-screen all uploads.

3. Name Mismatch Issues

Name mismatch between ID and Aadhaar is a common problem. We ensure consistency before application.

4. Skipping E-KYC or Video Call

Applicants often ignore mandatory verification steps. We coordinate and remind you for completion.
