ECA Certificates have different characteristics
It is important to know what type of ECA certificate your DoD application requires. While DoD ECA certificates are backward compatible, you cannot use a lower assurance certificate to access a DoD site that requires a certificate with a higher level of assurance.
For example, an ECA Medium Token Assurance certificate would be able to access applications that only require a Medium Assurance (software-based) certificate. If you require access to multiple DoD applications, you should select the higher assurance level certificate. Our Certificate Selection Wizard will help you make the appropriate selection based on the DoD application(s) that you need to access.
Please be aware that DoD policy requires that you retrieve your certificate within 30 days from the date that your forms are signed. If you are not able to complete this process and retrieve your certificate before that time elapses, your application will be cancelled and you will need to start this process again from the beginning. Before starting your application, please ensure that you will be able to complete all steps within 30 days.
