Frequently Asked Questions About TrustFactory

TrustFactory is a South African digital certificate and PKI provider that issues certificates for electronic document signing, secure email (S/MIME), encryption, and online identity validation. You obtain individual or organization certificates, then use them with supported signing and email software to authenticate signers, protect data integrity, and add tamper-evident, timestamped signatures to documents and emails.

TrustFactory operates in South Africa and its services and legal recognition are focused on South African use cases and regulations. While some certificate use may be technically possible outside South Africa, the core market and accreditation are South African.

You can start by visiting the TrustFactory website and following the instructions to request or purchase the appropriate certificate for your use case, then complete the required identity validation steps. For Advanced Electronic Signatures via PersonalPass Premium, you may need an in‑person verification process through a Trusted Agent as part of the South African accreditation requirements.

TrustFactory does not offer a general end user mobile app for everyday signing or email use. It does have a specialized Trusted Agent mobile app on Google Play that is used only by accredited TrustFactory Trusted Agents during in‑person onboarding for Advanced Electronic Signature certificates.

TrustFactory is best suited for businesses, government and enterprise teams, software vendors (ISVs), developers, and organizations that need managed PKI, legally recognised electronic signatures, and secure email or authentication certificates in South Africa. It also serves individuals who need certificates for secure email and document signing.
