Digital certificate: how to improve security and agility when validating documents

Now a requirement for several purposes, digital certificates provide more security and agility to the electronic validation of documents

Nowadays, a digital certificate is a must-have for individuals and companies operating in a technological environment. Hundreds of government and private agencies in Brazil now require one to be issued for carrying out certain processes.

Such contexts call for a high level of security and agility, elements that correlate directly with an electronic certification.

Learn more below on how a digital certificate makes the validation of documents more secure and agile:

Improved security

Having an encrypted electronic taxpayer number - whether for a person (CPF) or an organization (CNPJ) – provides more security to activities such as the signing of contracts, reports and other documents, ensuring legal compliance.

The certificate acts as an electronic version of the individual's or company's documents. It proves the validity of their identity, doing away with the need for submitting physical documents or in-person signing and authentication. Thanks to this, it is possible to validate access to systems and services during online browsing with total security.

Certificates issued by a Registration Authority (RA) trusted by ICP-Brasil (Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure), such as Domingues e Pinho Contadores, are guaranteed to be valid and secure.

Improved agility

In addition to a boost in security, there is also a significant gain in speed. A digital certificate streamlines its user’s routine as processes can be validated remotely, cutting through the red tape.

Even its issuance can be done quickly. If the user has already provided its biometric data to its state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (‘Departamento Estadual de Trânsito’ - Detran) or to ICP-Brazil, the process for obtaining a digital certificate can be carried out entirely via videoconference.

For every user, a different certificate

The benefits of having a digital certificate are crystal clear. To ensure security and agility when carrying out business electronically, users should decide which type of certificate is best suited for their needs: e-CNPJ for companies, e-CPF for individuals and NF-e for issuing and signing invoices.
