    Good day Johanvan! I am Independent Advisor Paul R. and also a Microsoft/Windows user like you and I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. I understand that you are looking into getting a Digital ID.

    Kindly check the information below and hopefully it helps out with your query.

    A digital ID is issued by an independent certification authority.

    Your organization (if you are using a work/corporate email) may have policies that require a different procedure and you check this with the IT team.

    Check here on to find other sources of digital certificates:

    Find digital ID or digital signature services:

    Obtain a digital certificate and create a digital signature:

    Once you have the certificates, you can refer to the steps below:

    • Obtain a free email certificate from any certificate authority
    • Download the certificate and install in your PC local certificate store
    • Confirm installation of the certificate in your machine’s local certificate store
    • Export the certificate from your certificate store into a FPX file
    • Import the certificate in Outlook
    • Activate encryption for mails in Outlook
    • Send Email from Outlook and choose Encrypt or Put a Digital Signature
