Digital certificate
The Digital Certificate is your signature in the digital environment, having the same legal validity as your conventional signature on paper.
The use of digital certificates is increasing, guaranteeing the ability to obtain many services without the need of your physical presence, bringing agility and security to the performed operations.
In the business environment, this certificate is indispensable for issuing electronic invoices for services and products.
The person who assists in obtaining such a certificate is usually the accountant, but you can obtain this certificate directly from Certified Authorities.
There are two types of digital certificates.
- A1: A digital file that can be stored on different computers and can be used by different people simultaneously.
- A3: A hardware device, consisting of a token or card, which must be attached to a computer when requested. Because it is hardware, it cannot be used by more than one person simultaneously.
