A DGFT Digital Signature Certificate is a specific type of DSC required for exporters and importers to conduct online transactions with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in India.

Exporters, importers, and authorized individuals acting on behalf of these organizations need a DGFT DSC to engage in online processes with the DGFT.

Typically, you’ll need identity proof (PAN is mandatory), address proof, a copy of the IEC certificate, organizational documents (if applicable), an authorization letter (if applicable), and a photograph.

The process involves selecting an authorized Certifying Authority, filling out the DGFT DSC application, submitting the required documents (including the IEC), undergoing verification, and receiving the DSC on a USB token.

A Digital Signature is mandatory for secure online transactions with the DGFT, such as applying for licenses and submitting documents electronically. It ensures the authenticity and integrity of these digital interactions, streamlining foreign trade procedures.
