Digitally Certified Documents from Website

Under EU Directive 2003/58 regarding disclosure requirements in respect of companies, CRO are required to provide electronic copies of documents. In accordance with this requirement CRO are introducing "digitally certified" copies of documents as a product through the Company Search facility. The digitally certified copy of the document will be available as an option to purchase when choosing a submission. The cost will be the same as a manual certified copy and is now available.

The "digitally certified" document will be emailed to customers as a pdf document. The pdf document contains a coloured banner at the top of the screen which confirms that it has been digitally signed as certified by the CRO. This assures the recipient that the document is authentic, comes from a source (CRO) that has been independently verified, and has not been tampered with. Globalsign who provide this software, have likened the digitally certified document as the electronic equivalent of adding a notarised, wet ink signature.

NB. Customers may wish to check that a "digitally certified" format is acceptable to any body they intend to present it to.
