Signer's Guide

DigiCert® Document Trust Manager allows you to sign documents using trusted and compliant digital signatures.

Before you can start signing, you must create a valid digital ID in DigiCert ONE by verifying your identity and setting up two-factor authentication (2FA).

Create your DigiCert ONE digital ID

A digital signature is an e-signature that is supported by a digital ID. The digital identity (digital ID) is a digital certificate that confirms that DigiCert has verified that the individual listed on the certificate is authentic.

To create DigiCert ONE digital ID:

  1. Set up your DigiCert ONE account

    Create a DigiCert ONE account to access DigiCert® Document Trust Manager.

  2. Verify your identity

    Verify your identity remotely using a specified mobile application or in person with an authorized professional.

  3. Set up two-factor authentication (2FA)

    Download a mobile authenticator application to confirm your identity every time you sign a document using your DigiCert ONE digital ID. Specific authenticator applications are required to be used depending on where you are located.

Sign a document

Use a signing application such as Adobe Acrobat Sign, DocuSign or SigningHub to sign your document.

Create a credential

The DigiCert​​®​​ Document Trust Manager credential combines a person's validated identity with a digital certificate. This is the proof that lies behind a secure signature in DigiCert​​®​​ Document Trust Manager. As a signer, you can create your own credential.
