DGFT DSC for IEC work

A DGFT digital signature certificate (DSC) is the signing certificate for import and export work on the DGFT portal. The name on the certificate must match your IEC and the signatory you register on the portal, so send us those details before we start.

Continue without a new token?

If your token is not FIPS 140-3, the Certifying Authority cannot issue your certificate on it. You would need a new token before we can finish your order, and that delays it.

The certificate for your IEC work

What you will need to do after paying
  1. Mobile and email OTPs. The Certifying Authority sends OTPs to your mobile number and email address, and you confirm both.
  2. Aadhaar OTP and video KYC. The Aadhaar OTP goes to the mobile linked to your Aadhaar, then you do the video KYC with the Certifying Authority. On the Aadhaar method you show no documents. On the PAN method you hold up your original PAN card.
  3. eKYC OTP. A final OTP on your phone confirms and approves the application.

Keep ready

  • Your phone, with the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar
  • Access to your email
  • PAN method only: your original PAN card for the video KYC
  • A quiet, well-lit place for the video KYC

No Aadhaar-linked phone? There is a PAN-based method.

What is a DGFT DSC?
A DGFT digital signature certificate (DSC) is a Class 3 signing certificate for import and export work on the DGFT portal. It is issued by a licensed Certifying Authority after verifying your identity through Aadhaar OTP and video KYC. The certificate lives on a USB token and signs your IEC applications, modifications and licence filings.
What does a DGFT DSC cost?
A DGFT DSC costs ₹2,090 for one year, ₹2,410 for two years and ₹3,630 for three years. Application support is included in every price. The USB e-token is ₹550 extra if you don't already have one.
Can I buy a DSC online?
Yes. You order and pay on this site, we contact you for the documents and file the application with the Certifying Authority, and you do the Aadhaar OTP and video KYC with them from where you are, with us helping you on the phone. The certificate then reaches you by Speed Post, or you can collect it from our Udaipur office.
What is a DGFT DSC used for?
It is the signing certificate for import and export work on the DGFT portal: applying for an IEC, modifying one, and the licence applications and scheme filings that go with them, such as Advance Authorisation and EPCG. Companies, LLPs and other non-proprietorship firms file through a signatory, so the certificate is issued for that person.
Who needs a DGFT DSC?
Importers and exporters with an IEC who file on the DGFT portal. A proprietorship doing only simple portal work can use a Class 3 signing DSC instead.
What has to match my IEC?
The name and PAN on the certificate, and the signatory you register on the portal. Send us the IEC number and the signatory details first, and we will tell you if anything does not line up.
Which validity should I choose, one year, two years or three?
One, two or three years, the same choices as the Class 3 certificates. Pick the one that carries you to your next reissue, since a certificate that has expired is reissued as a new one rather than renewed. The application and the documents are the same either way.
What documents do I need to send you?
Your IEC certificate, your PAN, and Aadhaar linked to that PAN and to your mobile number. A company or firm also sends the authorisation letter, the GST certificate or the registration documents of the entity, and the PAN of the person who will sign. Send them on WhatsApp or by email after you order, and we put them into the application. The full checklist has both lists.

How does the application work once I have paid?
We contact you for the documents and the IEC details, then fill and submit the application to the Certifying Authority. You confirm your mobile and email with OTPs, do the Aadhaar OTP and video KYC with them, with us helping you on the phone, and a final eKYC OTP on your phone approves it. The certificate is downloaded to your token, which travels by Speed Post or can be picked up from our Udaipur office.
Do I need a USB token?
A new certificate needs one, so we add it by default. If your token was bought on or after 21 September 2026, choose "I have a FIPS 140-3 token" and there is no token charge.
How long is the certificate valid?
One, two or three years, the same choices as the Class 3 certificates. Application support is in every price.
