Certificates for public administrations

Public employee certificates, with a pseudonym where appropriate, and administrative body seals for automated actions.

Public employee certificates and administrative body seals

What is included

  • Determining which certificate corresponds to the post or the body
  • Handling the application with the organisation and issuance
  • Installation and testing on the portal or system where it will be used

What is included and what is not promised

A public administration needs two different things: its employees signing as such, and the body itself sealing automated actions. They are different certificates, with different application and safekeeping requirements.

What it includes: determining which certificate corresponds to the post or the body; handling the application with the organisation and issuance; installation and testing on the portal or system where it will be used. What it does not include: it does not include adapting the organisation's electronic portal, which is for its technology provider.

Documents you will need

  • Evidence of the post and of the requesting organisation.
  • Valid identity document of the public employee.
  • Authorisation from the organisation's responsible officer.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 2 and 6 working days.

Timing depends on the organisation's internal validation, usually the slowest step in the procedure.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 6 days.

  1. We choose the certificate

    We determine which certificate matches your position or your body: public employee, with or without pseudonym, or administrative body seal.

  2. Identification

    We ask for proof of the position and the body's authorisation. Price agreed.

  3. Issuance and installation

    We process the request with the body and, once approved, the qualified certificate is issued.

  4. Real test and backup

    We install and check it on the portal or system where you will use it, and record the handover.

What to have at hand

  • Evidence of the post and of the requesting organisation
  • Valid identity document of the public employee
  • Authorisation from the organisation's responsible officer

Frequently asked questions

What does the pseudonym add?

It protects the employee's identity where the post justifies it, while keeping the signature valid.

Does the body seal sign on its own?

Yes, it is for automated administrative action. It is not used by a person.

Do you work with small town halls?

Yes. That is where it is most needed, because they rarely have an in-house team for this.
