If you want to get your request form (for other than ECA Medium Hardware Assurance Requests) notarized by a WidePoint/ORC Local Registration Authority (LRA) at our Fairfax Virginia Office, email us at wcsc.helpdesk@widepoint.com to schedule an appointment for weekdays, except for Federal Holidays, between 10 am and 4 pm. Our NEW/Returning Customers Procedures & Processes have changed: Customers will now create individual accounts at our site to make certificate requests and download certificates to enhance security. The request process and the process to download software-based certificates will be browser-independent. Hardware-based certificates will use a proprietary app to download the certificates onto smartcards or USB tokens instead of a browser. Subscribers will still need ActivClient Software to work with this proprietary app. Subscribers for ECA Medium Assurance, ECA Medium Token Assurance, and ECA Medium Hardware Assurance Client Certificates and for both levels of Code Signing Certificates will no longer generate enrollment keys or RSA Keys with the request forms. The enrollment keys (also called private keys) and RSA Keys will be generated at the end of the process; those keys will be generated and the certificates will be downloaded all at one time. The previous point means that ECA Medium Assurance (software-based) Certificate Subscribers will only have one opportunity to save backup copies of their certificates to recover them if a computer crash occurs; so, they need to carefully follow the instructions when downloading their certificates and setting the password for their certificates and the backup copies.
