Application for Equipment Certificate

This application form is for an Equipment Certificate.
Equipment certificates can be installed on standard computer hardware.

The application process consists of the following 6 steps:

1. Company Information
You must enter the company identification number. This identification number will be included in the equipment certificate.
The company name is retrieved from the official company registry and will also be included in the equipment certificate.

2. Authorized Representative
The authorized representative must be registered with power of attorney (prokura) for the company in the company registry, or hold a valid authorization from a registered signatory.
If no power of attorney information is available in the company registry, the authority must be demonstrated by other means.
Information about the authorized representative does not appear in the equipment certificate, including neither personal identification number nor email address.

3. Technical Contact Information
You must enter the personal identification number, email address, and phone number of the technical contact person.
The email address must be verified and will be used to send notifications related to the equipment certificate.
No information about the technical contact is included in the equipment certificate.

4. Equipment Certificate Common Name and Validity
The Equipment Certificate Name (Common Name) must contain the company name or other information that clearly and unambiguously links the certificate to the company.

5. Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
A CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is a required part of the application process.
Applicants may choose to have Auðkenni generate the CSR on their behalf.
However, we recommend that applicants generate the CSR themselves. This process is not complicated if the instructions are followed.
For Windows users, we recommend using a script that we generate based on the information entered in the application form.
This script is displayed in this step and should be copied into a CMD (Command Prompt) window.
This process will automatically generate the private key for the equipment certificate and a CSR string, which must be copied into the CSR field in the application form.
More information about CSR, private keys, and public keys can be found in the technical documentation available at www.audkenni.is

6. Terms and Application Verification
The applicant must accept Auðkenni’s general terms and conditions before the application can be submitted.
See: General Terms and Conditions
The authorized representative must also verify and approve the application by digitally signing the application document using electronic certificates.
The document will be sent to the email address provided in the application form.
See: Sample Application Document
