Qualified Website Authentication Certificate
Order received
The Order will create a Vetting case which will be assigned to an Agent who will oversee issuing of your certificates.
Initial vetting
The provided information in the order (Organisation name and address) will be verified. Any amendments needed will be done, and a Personal Statement will be emailed to the client.
Personal statement (PS)
The Personal Statement is the official request for an order and our way to log the details we need to verify before issuing the certificate. The Personal Statement will need to be filled out by the individual named in the certificate, providing their personal details (Full name and date of birth), and choosing which ID they will use for verification.
Please note: the name of the authorised representative will not appear in the certificate.
Third Party Validator (TPV)
It is a legal requirement for Third Party Validator to perform an in-person verification of your identity. They will notarise your Personal Statement and ID and countersign your application.
A Third Party Validator can be one of the following:
- Local Government/Municipality
- Latin Notary
- Lawyer
- Certified public accountant ora chartered accountant
- Court Bailiff
Your Vetting Agent will verify your chosen Third Party Validator and their confirmation of the countersignature before accepting this document.
To avoid any delays, please inform your Vetting Agent of your chosen Third Party Validator. We will then preapprove them and be ready to process your order.
Order is confirmed
The status of the authorised representative can be confirmed by TPV as part of the Personal Statement.
No order confirmation is necessary, since this is covered by the act of the authorised representative sending the notarised Personal Statement.
Additional for QWAC
Before the issuance of certificates the Customer needs to carry out domain validation.
