From 2022, only a qualified electronic signature (QES) issued by the Federal Tax Service may be used on behalf of an organization.
Since July, the Federal Tax Service has started issuing QESs to companies free of charge, nevertheless not for everyone. Only legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and notaries can apply for a QES. At the same time, the old procedure of issuing qualified electronic signatures to legal entities by commercial certification authorities will stay valid until the end of this year (unless the accreditation or the validity period of the QES expires earlier). From January 1, 2022, you can obtain the QESs only from the Federal Tax Service.
To obtain a QES and an electronic signature key from the Federal Tax Service, you will need a document certifying the identity of a person; a SNILS and an USB - information carrier (token).
In addition, it is also possible to prepare and send an application for issuance of a qualified electronic signature through the personal account of a taxpayer.
