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.

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.
