FAQ Question

What do I do if I've lost my USB token or Smart card?

FAQ Answer

If no longer in possession of the USB token or Smart card housing your digital certificate, the certificate is deemed 'compromised' and must be revoked. To Revoke a Certificate/Account where the digital certificate is no longer accessible, a request must be submitted officially via one of two ways:

  1. Signed email from an Organization Officer/Representative.
    • An organization’s representative (i.e., personnel office representative) can request revocation directly via a signed e-mail and a call to the Support, or mail to Registration on company letterhead containing a notarized signature.
    • The communication should include the information about the Subscriber’s certificate to be revoked, including Subscriber name, email, and if possible the account number and/or application ID number, both available in email previously sent to the Subscriber. 
    • If the revocation is being requested for reason of key compromise or suspected fraudulent use of the private key, or if the smart card or USB token could not be collected and zeroed out, then the revocation request must indicate key compromise.
  2. Company Letterhead
    • Signed and notarized on the company letterhead, please provide the following:
      • Account number of certificate holder to Revoke (if available)
      • Certificate holder name
      • Certificate holder Email Address
      • Reason for Revocation
    • Sign the request and have this request signed/notarized by any licensed Notary Public.
    • Mail completed letter to:
      • ECA Registration IdenTrust Services
