CAcert Assurance Policy and Procedures

Tracy Di Marco White
Jason White


The following page outlines the procedure and policies for being assured by Tracy and/or Jason.

CAcert Account

Create yourself an account at www.cacert.org using your email address and a very strong passphrase. This is an important passphrase, so be careful what you choose. You will need to provide the email address and name from this account when you present your assurance paperwork.

Identity Verification Form

After your account is created and your email address verified, you need to go to the Web of Trust section on the CAcert website and click on WoT Form. Print out one copy for each assurance you wish performed and bring them to the meeting.

Identification

You will need a minimum of one, preferably two, forms of government-issued photo identification. Acceptable types of identification include (but are not limited to): Generally, picture IDs carry more weight, but not all picture-IDs are acceptable. Examples of unacceptable identification include (but are not limited to):

Assurance Points

Twenty (20) points will be issued for one valid form of identification and thirty-five (35) points will be issued for two forms, by each assurer. If available, both Tracy and Jason will attend the meeting, so it may be possible to attain a maximum of 70 assurance points in one sitting.

Location

Assurances will be performed in a neutral, public setting such as a library, shopping mall, or events such as user group meetings. Good places to meet locally:

Travel/Fees

While we are technically allowed to charge a fee for assurance, we have elected not to charge any fees beyond our direct travel expenses from Ames, Iowa.
