Evidence of identity requirements

If you are applying for an Individual, Non-Individual or ABN-DSC Authorised Officer Digital Certificate you need to complete an identification check. The identification check can be done at selected Australia Post outlets and is just like doing a 100 point check when opening a bank account.

There are two types of identification checks; personal and organisation checks. The type of check required depends on the type of certificate you are purchasing.

The ‘Australian Customs’ section of the VeriSign website provides full details on:

  • purchasing digital certificates
  • Evidence of Identity (EOI) checks
  • cost of digital certificates
  • renewing or revoking a digital certificate

The site also includes a support section, and a range of ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ that may assist users. For full details, go to the Australian Customs section of the VeriSign website. http://www.verisign.com.au/gatekeeper/customs/index.html and select the from the left hand side menu.
