# Quickstart: Share your certificate

Your digital ID includes a certificate that others require to validate your signature and encrypt documents for you.

1. Choose Document > Security Settings.
2. Select Digital IDs on the left.
3. Select the ID you want to share, and click Export .
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to email the certificate or save it to a file.

If you use a third-party security method, you usually don’t need to share your certificate with others.
