Civil Service Certificates - ACGISS

For automated Social Security processing and identification, and to enable electronic processing of its public employees, the Certification Authority of the Social Security IT Management (ACGISS) issues digital certificates included in the scope of Law 11/2007 on Citizens' Electronic Access to Public Services.

These certificates are only issued internally within the Social Security and are therefore not intended for the general public.

The certificates issued by the ACGISS for the Civil Service are recognised certificates in accordance with the provisions of Law 59/2003 on Electronic Signing and are registered as such in the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.
