What information will my digital certificate actually display?

  •  Unique identifier (distinguished name) of the certificate issuer
  •  Period of time for which certificate is valid (validity period)
  •  Unique identifier (distinguished name) of the certified subject
  •  Public key of the certified subject
  •  The issuer's signature

Different certificate types may also normally contain items such as:

 

  •  Email address
  •  Company name

 

Please note that the certificate will NEVER contain or display your personal information. The information that we collect during the application process is only used to validate your identity.
