Difference Between the Organization and Employee Certificate Variants
The DigiCert Document Signing Organization certificate specifies only the name of the owning organization. It is therefore intended for use in machine-based or automated signing processes. The DigiCert Document Signing Employee certificate, in addition to the organization, also identifies the individual (employee) who uses it. This certificate is designed for signing documents on behalf of the employee.
Obtaining a certificate
The verification for this certificate corresponds to the organization verification level. Please note that before completing verification and obtaining a certificate, Adobe requires a short video call with the CA to verify the applicant's identity. The person applying for the certificate must sign the form in such a way that the CA employee can see the signature and must attach a picture of their identity card. An alternative is for a notary to confirm the form.
