FATCA reporting through IDES requires financial institutions to use an IRS‑trusted digital certificate, and IdenTrust issues FATCA certificates accepted directly in the IDES enrollment process. Filing entities must pair the IRS public key with their own FATCA certificate, issued entirely through an online application that supports both U.S. and eligible non‑U.S. residents. Certificates can be stored locally or in a browser and are available with one‑ or two‑year validity at Medium Assurance. Once approved, organizations use the certificate to complete IDES enrollment, validate their GIIN, and submit FATCA reports securely. IdenTrust simplifies the process with IRS‑approved credentials that help entities meet FATCA and IDES requirements confidently.
