Digital Signature Certificate – Application Forms, Authorization Letters & Board Resolutions

When applying for a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) from an organisation, you need to submit supporting documents along with your application — including an authorization letter, board resolution (for companies), and identity proof letter. Each Certifying Authority (CA) in India has its own approved template for these documents. Using an incorrect or outdated format can result in DSC application rejection. Below you'll find the official, CA-approved templates for all major CAs — eMudhra, PantaSign, VSign, SignX, Capricorn, and Xtra Trust — hosted here for easy download. All templates are sourced directly from each CA's official repository. Select your CA and download the form that matches your organisation type (Individual / Company / Government)
