Overview

What is DGFT Certificate & who needs it?

A DGFT Digital Signature Certificate is a special-purpose Class 3 DSC designed exclusively for DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal filings in India. It is mandatory for exporters and importers applying for or managing an Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), submitting applications on the DGFT e-platform, and complying with export-import licensing requirements. A standard Class 3 DSC — even if otherwise valid for MCA or GST — is not accepted on the DGFT portal without the DGFT classification.

If you are in the export-import business and need to apply for an IEC, apply for advance authorisation (AA), EPCG licences, Rosctep/MEIS benefits, star export house status, or transfer existing licences on the DGFT portal, a DGFT Certificate is compulsory. It is also required for filing Annual Performance Reports (APR) and submitting import-export documents digitally with the Customs department.

DSCKart has issued thousands of DGFT Certificates for exporters across India. Our 100% online process requires no office visit — documents are submitted over WhatsApp and a 2-minute Video KYC is completed on a secure link. Most DGFT DSCs are issued within 15 minutes of document submission.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Last updated:

What is a DGFT Digital Signature Certificate?

A DGFT DSC is a Class 3 digital signature issued specifically for use on the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal. It is mandatory for exporters and importers to apply for an IEC, submit licence applications, and transact on the DGFT e-platform — a standard Class 3 DSC cannot substitute it on this portal.

Who needs a DGFT Certificate?

Any individual or business with an IEC (Import Export Code) that uses the DGFT portal — for advance authorisation, EPCG licences, MEIS/RODTEP claims, star export house status, or licence transfers — requires a DGFT Certificate.

Is a DGFT DSC the same as a regular Class 3 DSC?

A DGFT DSC is a Class 3 DSC but issued with the DGFT Certificate type classification, making it valid specifically on the DGFT portal. A standard Class 3 Individual or Organisation DSC is not accepted for DGFT portal filings without this classification.

What documents are needed for a DGFT Certificate?

You need a PAN Card, Aadhaar Card with a linked mobile, your IEC Certificate, a passport-size photograph, and the Company PAN for organisation types. All documents are submitted via WhatsApp — no courier or office visit required.

How long does it take to get a DGFT Certificate?

DSCKart issues DGFT Certificates within 15 minutes to 2 hours after documents are submitted and Video KYC is completed. The USB token is shipped pan-India on the same day.

How much does a DGFT Certificate cost?

A DGFT Certificate starts at ₹2,299 (inclusive of GST) for 1-year validity at DSCKart. A 2-year option at ₹2,549 offers better value for active exporters with frequent DGFT filings.
