What is an Individual (Type 1) Digital Certificate?
Individual Digital Certificates are used by individuals who wish to identify themselves electronically to a Government agency or organisations that accepts Gatekeeper Digital Certificates. The individual is the only person identified in the certificate and therefore assumes sole responsibility for any and all transactions undertaken using the digital certificate.
Each applicant for an individual digital certificate must complete a personal identification check, during which, the applicant provides Evidence of Identity (EOI).
The identification check must be performed at selected Australia Post locations. Check the KeyPOST location guide to find the most suitable location for you.
What grades of individual certificate can I purchase?
An Individual certificate for interaction with Customs is a Grade 2 Certificate, which requires 100 points worth of EOI documentation.
