IV Document Signing

Sign documents with your verified personal identity

The IV Document Signing Certificate digitally signs electronic documents with your validated personal name — globally recognized and trusted by Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Office. Every document you sign carries cryptographic proof of who you are and that the content is unaltered. Works with eSigner for cloud-based signing — no hardware required.

What is attestation? Before issuing your certificate, SSL.com verifies that your private key was generated and is stored inside your cloud HSM — not exportable to software. This one-time attestation fee covers the verification process with your chosen provider.

Looking for a simpler option? SSL.com eSigner for Code provides cloud-based signing with no HSM to provision, no attestation fee, and a lower total cost for most teams.

Bring your own on-premises HSM

SSL performs an attestation ceremony for your compliant on-premises HSM.

Frequently asked questions

Can this certificate be shared with others in my organization?

No — IV Document Signing is bound to one individual. For shared organizational use, see OV Document Signing.

Does signing work in Microsoft Office?

Yes — signatures are displayed and validated natively in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

How is this different from a basic e-signature (DocuSign, etc.)?

SSL.com document signing certificates use PKI-based digital signatures — cryptographically stronger and more widely recognized than click-to-sign e-signatures. The signer's identity is validated by a trusted CA, not self-asserted.
