# Trusted Agent

Trusted Agent accounts in CERTInext are intended for authorized individuals who are responsible for validating, approving, and managing digital signature certificate requests. Trusted Agents act as verification authorities and play a critical role in ensuring identity assurance and compliance during certificate issuance and revocation processes.

Trusted Agents typically include qualified professionals and authorized third parties, such as accountants, lawyers, government officials, or other approved entities.

#### Trusted Agent Sign-Up Process

Follow the steps below to create a Trusted Agent account:

**Access the Trusted Agent Portal**\
Open the Trusted Agent portal URL provided by eMudhra in a supported web browser.

**Provide Registration Details**\
Enter the required registration information as communicated during onboarding, including personal and professional identification details.

**Account Verification and Approval**\
Trusted Agent accounts are subject to verification and approval by eMudhra. Once approved, login credentials and access instructions are shared with the registered user.

**Login and Certificate Association**\
To access the portal, the Trusted Agent must log in using the registered username and select the assigned Class 3 Organization Certificate for authentication.

Once activated, the Trusted Agent account is ready for use, enabling the user to process issuance and revocation requests, track certificate status, and perform validation activities through the Trusted Agent portal.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.certinext.io/documentation/signing-up/trusted-agent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
