In order to apply for a DICE Subordinate Certificate please follow the procedure below:
- Complete the form below.
- Once the form has been submitted and DCP has verified the information an email will be sent to confirm the signatory information so a DCP, LLC DICE Subordinate Certificate Authority Services Agreement can be sent to the signatory via DocuSign. (Note we will not countersign at this time until all the steps below are complete and deemed accepted by DCP LLC)
- Once the signed Agreement is received an online account will be set up for you to be able to upload the necessary supporting documentation. The following documentation is required and will be reviewed and approved in order to become a DICE Subordinate CA holder:
- Evidence of a minimum of $5M in Errors and Omissions Insurance

- NOTE: It may take up to 30 days for the IANA application to be processed.
