A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) has a limited validity, typically 1, 2, or 3 years. Forgetting to renew it can lead to a sudden halt in your ability to conduct critical online transactions. This guide explains everything you need to know about the renewal process.
Why is Timely Renewal Important?
Renewing your DSC before it expires ensures you have uninterrupted access to portals for e-tendering, GST, MCA, and Income Tax filing. An expired DSC is invalid, and you will not be able to sign any documents digitally until you get it renewed.
The Renewal Process in 4 Easy Steps
- Choose Your Renewal Plan: Decide on the validity period for your renewed DSC (1, 2, or 3 years).
- Provide Your Details: Submit your existing DSC details and applicant information. The process is similar to applying for a new certificate.
- Complete Verification: A simple and quick online video verification is required to confirm your identity.
- Download Your Renewed DSC: Once approved, you can download the new certificate onto your existing (or new) USB token.
At eFiling Infotech, we make the renewal process seamless, even if your original DSC was from a different provider. Contact us today to renew your certificate and stay secure.
