DGFT Digital Signature Certificate is a special-purpose certificate. Generally, the DGFT office can only issue it. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) requires these certificates for businesses involved in import and export activities. Users choose the Class 2 certificate for basic authentication while accessing DGFT portals and signing applications. Certifying authorities issue this certificate after verifying identity through supporting documents. Users prefer the DGFT certificate for the renewal of the export-import code (IEC) license. Authorities issue this certificate only after completing user identity, IEC and video verification. Businesses use both types to digitally sign documents, submit license applications, and communicate securely with DGFT. These certificates help users reduce paperwork, speed up processes, and ensure compliance with legal standards. They also enhance the credibility of online transactions in foreign trade operations.
