FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

In general, yes; but it depends on the specific software and its implementation. If the program knows the signature time (from a valid timestamp) and can check the revocation of the certificate, then the signature will be valid. However, this may not work entirely in all office programs.

If the validity of a signature in documents is critical and you require it for many years to come, then we recommend an electronic archiving service to manage the document life cycle.
Class 1-2 levels determine the degree of certificate verification. The higher the level, the more information is included in the certificate. Only the owner's email is listed in the Class 1 certificate. Higher Class 2 includes the certificate owner's name, email address, and company name.
