• Organizational information for the organization that will be signing code with the certificate
• Code signing information (such as your cryptographic service provider, private key security settings, or encryption strength). The information required depends on the the type of code signing certificate you are enrolling for.
• Direct contact information for the following individuals:
  • Technical contact - Responsible for maintaining the certificate
  • Organizational contact - Responsible for approving the order and verifying your organization
  • Billing contact - Responsible for settling payment issues
• Payment information for one of the following methods:
  
  • Credit card - Number, expiration date, and cardholder's name
  • Purchase order - PO number
  • Check - Check number
  • Wire transfer - Bank name
  • Token - Token number

Enter the contact information for the person who will use and/or maintain the certificate. The Technical Contact receives the certificate and renewal notifications.

Note the following instructions for Technical Contact information. Unless otherwise noted, all information is required.

• First and Last Name
• Title - The official title or position held by the Technical Contact.
• Company - The organization the Technical Contact works for.

---

Note: The Company name for the Technical Contact must match the Company name for the certificate you are enrolling for (you will enter this in the next step). If the Company names do not match, the certificate will use the Company name entered for the certificate.

This stored private key is not portable and is always on the computer. Unless the computer is in a very secure location, this practice is not advised.
