To whom and on what terms
Organisation cards are tied to the organisation and the employee’s employment. If a cardholder’s employment is about to end, the certificate must be revoked by getting in touch with revocation services. After the certificate has been revoked, the card can no longer be used. The certificate can be revoked either by the organisation’s registrar or by the cardholder. The registrar then marks the card as cancelled in the Vartti system. The certificate must also be revoked by contacting revocation services if the card is lost or broken.
Verifying the identity of an applicant
The identity of the card applicant must be verified at a registration when the card is ordered. The card applicant must have a valid identity document such as a national ID card or a passport with them in order to prove their identity. Other acceptable forms of identification include the following: a passport or identity card issued by an official government agency of an EEA member state, Switzerland or San Marino, or a passport issued by an official government agency of another state. If the applicant does not possess any of the aforementioned documents, the police may, at the organisation’s request, verify the applicant’s identity by other means.
