Document Signing Product Updates
(November 9, 2025) Document Signing certificates are now available in a new form - for three usage purposes and without an annual signature count limit, which has been removed. Old Document Signing certificates are no longer offered.
Document Signing certificates enable document signing and confirm the origin, authenticity, and integrity of documents and are compatible with Adobe Acrobat, DocuSign, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice applications.
New Document Signing Certificates
DigiCert now offers these three Document Signing certificates for electronic signatures and seals:
- Document Signing Individual
- Document Signing Employee
- Document Signing Organization
The certificate Document Signing Individual is intended for individuals and contains only the person's name. The certificate Document Signing Employee is intended for employees and includes both the person's name and the organization's name. The third variant, Document Signing Organization, is intended only for companies, as it contains only the organization's name and no person. It is suitable for automated signing (seal) in the name of the company.
