About certificate creation
Before you request an advanced signature (level2) or an advanced signature with a qualified certificate (level3) , you may want your participant to possess the appropriate certificate.
Universign standalone registration service allows you to initiate a request to verify your future participant’s ID and issue, if successful, the appropriate certificate. For more details, visit Standalone registration.
A registration session is valid only for 7 days. Beyond this delay, you need to initiate another registration session.
Note that a participant can own several certificates.
