What is the entity representative certificate?

It is a digital accreditation that can be used to securely identify and express will, consent or authorship. Just as we would in the real world using our handwritten signature and legal documents, but by electronic means.

Specifically, entity representative certificates identify a natural person as a representative of a legal entity. To do this, the holder must have the legal capacity to act in full on behalf of that entity.

It is valid for 3 years.

With this type of certificate, you can identify yourself and sign in digital environments, both in your name and in the name of the entity you represent and listed on the certificate.
