Exporters applying for an e-Certificate of Origin need to know exactly which DSC their issuing agency accepts before applying.
Most e-CoO issuing platforms, typically run by recognized Chambers of Commerce or export promotion councils, accept a Class 3 Signing DSC in the exporting company's authorized signatory's name, linked to your IEC. Some issuing agencies additionally require encryption depending on their specific platform, so it's worth confirming with your issuing agency or with us before applying.
In many cases, yes, if you already have a DGFT-linked Organization DSC for export-import filings, the same certificate often works for e-CoO applications too, since both are tied to your IEC and authorized signatory. It's worth confirming this with your specific issuing agency before assuming it'll work without checking.
Tell us your issuing agency and we'll confirm exactly what's required before you apply.

Various recognized Chambers of Commerce and export promotion councils issue e-CoO, depending on your product category and destination country.
Not necessarily, many exporters use their existing DGFT-linked DSC. Confirm with your specific issuing platform, or ask us to check for you.
