Digital certificate RA abroad: how we validate your identity outside Brazil and how professionals become partners

An RA (Registration Authority) is the human link in ICP-Brasil: it looks at your document, confirms you are who you say you are and authorises AC Certisign to issue the certificate. Certificado Digital Global is a Certisign-accredited RA based in London, built for people living outside Brazil — and for the accountants, law firms, associations and immigration consultants who serve Brazilians and want to offer the certificate to their clients. Here you understand the service, see how remote validation works and learn how to join as a partner with a single message.

What an RA does — and what it does not

Verifies identity

Compares the Brazilian photo ID, the CPF and the person in front of the camera. Without this step, no CA can issue an ICP-Brasil certificate.

Forwards issuance

Once identity is approved, the RA authorises the CA — in our case, Certisign — to generate the certificate tied to your CPF or your company's CNPJ.

Does not keep your key

The private key is created by and stays with the holder. The RA never sees the password, cannot recover the PIN and cannot sign anything on your behalf.

Does not replace the CA or ITI

The hierarchy is ITI (root) → AC Certisign → RA → holder. The RA's institutional role is described in ICP-Brasil registration authority; this page is about doing it from outside the country.

How validation works outside Brazil

What the agent looks at during the session and what causes it to stop is narrated in CPF digital validation abroad.

An accountant in Manchester who became a partner

Real case

Illustrative scenario. A Brazilian accountant with a practice in Manchester serves compatriots who keep MEI registrations, companies and property in Brazil. Every week someone asked her how to get a digital certificate without travelling, and the answer was always a Google search followed by a referral that went nowhere. She wrote to us on WhatsApp with just “I want to be a partner”. After a conversation about her clients' profile, she began referring them straight to video validation, with an agreed flow: she prepares the paperwork, we run the session and the issuance, and the client returns to her office with the e-CPF or e-CNPJ already installed to sign whatever the accountant needs. What changed for her was no longer losing the client at the one step that did not depend on her. — A frequent profile among accountants and consultants serving Brazilians in Europe

For partners: accountants, law firms, associations and immigration consultants

If your clients or members are Brazilians outside Brazil, sooner or later every one of them hits the same wall: a document, a return or a login that requires an ICP-Brasil certificate. Partnering with our RA puts the solution inside your own service, without you having to become an RA or operate ICP-Brasil systems.

Accountants and accounting firms

Your clients get e-CPFs and e-CNPJs for electronic powers of attorney, e-CAC, the commercial registry and signing filings — and you stop depending on someone in Brazil for every document.

Law and consulting firms

Probate, divorces, contracts and corporate acts with clients abroad no longer wait for a consulate or a flight; the certificate is issued mid-process.

Brazilian associations and communities

A trustworthy reference to recommend to members, with service in Portuguese and sessions arranged for your city's time zone.

Immigration and relocation consultants

People who are moving need to close accounts in Brazil, grant powers of attorney and keep their tax return current. The certificate joins the departure checklist you already deliver.

Before you decide

“How do I know you are a genuine RA?”

Ask. We show our accreditation with AC Certisign and the name of the company behind the brand, Kindness in Business Consulting Ltd, registered in the UK. The ICP-Brasil structure is public on ITI's website.

“Is video validation as secure as in person?”

The session follows ICP-Brasil rules for remote identification, with the original document on camera and the check recorded. The resulting certificate is the same, issued by the same CA.

“My clients are in different time zones from mine”

Each client books their own session at a convenient time. The partner does not need to attend.

“Is there a minimum volume to be a partner?”

There is no entry number: we start with a conversation about who you serve and adjust the flow to your pace.
