About Document Signing
Easily Sign and Secure Documents
A digital signature uses a secure digital key that certifies the identity of the author of a digital message or document. Digital certificates give customers confidence that the signed documents originate from the recognized source and have not been forged or tampered with.
Adobe Document Signing Certificates offered by Sectigo enable organizations to secure Adobe Acrobat documents with digital signatures. Certification originates from the Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS) or the Certificate Authorities that are members of the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL). Certification attests that the signer has been verified by Adobe for compliance to its requirements and that the certificate is on the protected hardware.
Sectigo provides a complete range of digital signature capabilities while maintaining competitive prices.

Key Information on Document Signing Certificates
These certificates enable individuals and organizations (depending on the type purchased) to digitally sign PDF documents while complying with the U.S. Federal ESIGN Act and applicable international laws. The certificate verifies the publisher's identity and authenticity of the document.
Supported File Formats
Document Signing Certificates can be used on any platform that trusts the Sectigo root certificate. Most PDF file formats are supported, including Adobe PDF.
Sectigo Document Signing Certificates can be ordered for any valid email address. There are two types of certificates:
- The certificate in the name of an individual
- The certificate in the name of an organization
Both types come with an unlimited number of signatures and the option of 1,2, or 3 year validation term.
Prior to Placing an Order
Validation is an important part of the certificate issuing process. As such, Sectigo has adopted stringent validation policies and procedures to strengthen the security of certificate operations and validation processes.
Sectigo verifies the following:
- The identity of the applicant
- The identity and address of the entity to confirm its physical existence
- That the entity has authorized the issuance of the certificate
The validation work is done by Sectigo. You are required to respond to emails, follow instructions and provide the requested documents.
Timeframe to Receive an Adobe Certificate
Sectigo aims to promptly complete your order while adhering to validation standards. To ensure the integrity of the certificate, Sectigo will not issue a certificate that has not passed validation.
After you have submitted the required documents, Sectigo will validate the information and identity. The validation process may take 1-5 business days. You will be notified by email when the validation process is complete. Once the certificate is issued, it will be installed on the USB token and mailed to you. The arrival time depends on your location and shipping methods. You will receive tracking information via email.
