If my Organisation is seeking Listing as a Known Customer (KCO), is Gatekeeper accreditation as a Registration Authority also required?
Accreditation as a Registration Authority is not mandatory for an Organisation seeking Listing as there are third-party Registration Authorities such as Australia Post which are able to offer these services. However, if a KCO wishes to register requests for digital certificates from customers who are not ‘known customers’, it must demonstrate to the Gatekeeper Competent Authority that its policies and procedures meet the requirements of the Formal Identity Verification model and the Gatekeeper EOI Policy. This process eliminates the need for the KCO to undergo Gatekeeper accreditation as a Registration Authority.
