Step 6 - Authorized Signatory Information

This step is unique to EV certificates. EV certificates require two specifically authorized individuals from your organization: a Contract Signer (who signs the legal Subscriber Agreement) and a Certificate Approver (who authorizes certificate issuance). These can be the same person if they hold appropriate authority.

Contract Signer Information

The Contract Signer is the individual with authority to enter into legal agreements on behalf of your organization (e.g., Director, VP, authorized officer). They will receive and must electronically sign the eMudhra emSign Subscriber Agreement.

⚠ IMPORTANT The Contract Signer must have legal authority to bind your organization to contractual agreements (e.g., Director, VP, authorized officer). The Certificate Approver must have authority to authorize security certificate issuance (e.g., CISO, IT Director, or delegated manager). Both roles can be fulfilled by the same person if they hold appropriate authority. Do not use external consultants or vendors in these roles.
