Loading timestamp root certificate
This only applies to documents signed on 11 and 12 June 2025
The timestamp certificate proves that your document was signed at the stated time. In order to verify that the timestamp certificate in your downloaded document is valid, you might need to load in the timestamp root certificate.
To load it in, please follow the steps below:
Download the GlobalSign root certificate from here.
If you're unable to access that link, please visit GlobalSign's CA repository and download the R6 GlobalSign Root Certificate.
In your folder that you have chosen, you should find the file root-r6.crt
Open Adobe PDF reader. If you do not have this, you may download and install here.
Click "Acrobat Reader" on the top left.
Navigate to "Preferences"
Under Categories, find and click "Signatures".
Click "more" under Identities and Trusted Certificates.
Click on "Trusted Certificates"
Click Import
Under contacts, click "Browse" and choose the certificate you have downloaded in the earlier step.
Under certificates, click on GlobalSign and then click Trust
Check "Use this certificate as a trusted root" with a tick and press OK

Click on Import
You should now be able to see that the signature includes an embedded timestamp

All done!
