Getting Your Credential

Table of Contents

Once your XATP Workspace has been set up, you can apply for your XATP Credential. Once the credential is issued, a standard integration allows VRS and tracing solution providers to access your wallet for signing and checking operations – so that when you get a verifiable presentation, you can trust that it came from an actual Authorized Trading Partner (ATP) or Authority.

We partner with Legisym as our credential issuer. They check identity documentation and monitor state and federal licenses, so that the credentials they issue can be trusted.

Start Your Application #

  1. From the “My Credentials” tab in the dashboard, click the Apply for Credential button.
  2. Select the preferred corporate entity for the credential. This may be the parent company or a subsidiary. In general, if the company name and address listed in the documentation are the same, it is easier to validate identity.

Identity Credential #

The first thing you’ll need is an Identity Credential, which proves your corporate identity.

  1. To get your Identity Credential, you will need to enter:
    • Organization Name
    • Organization Address
    • Contact Name
    • Contact Email
    • Contact Phone
    • Company Type (i.e. dispenser)
    • DUNS Number (NOTE: The address must match the address provided on the application and other documents submitted.)
  2. Next, you have the option of proving your identity with a DEA CSOS certificate, or with supporting documentation. We recommend using the DEA CSOS certificate, as it is the “fast track” to completing the application. More information about how OCI Credential Issuers verify identity and DSCSA status may be found on the OCI website.
    • Option #1: DEA Certificate. You will need to submit the following information:
      • DEA number
      • DEA Signing Certificate (a file)
      • Their DEA Signing Certificate password
      • DEA number
      • DEA Signing Certificate (a file)
      • Their DEA Signing Certificate password
    • Option #2: Supporting Documentation.If you don’t have a DEA CSOS certificate, or don’t wish to use it, you will need to submit the following documentation:
      • Articles of Incorporation (PDF format)
        • NOTE: The address must match the address provided on the application and other documents submitted (otherwise additional proof will be needed)
      • IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN) Assignment Letter (PDF format):
        • NOTE: The address must match the address provided on the application and other documents submitted
        • If there was an address change, an IRS Address Change Form (CP148a) will be needed.
      • Notarized Credential Request Letter
        • This a basic letter attesting that the documents being submitted for the identity proofing are true and accurate.
        • A Notarized Credential Request Letter template to be formatted on company letterhead is available here.
        • Once notarized, submit a scanned copy along with driver’s license or state-issued ID.
  3. Once the Identity application is submitted, Legisym will review your submission and follow up with any questions. You will receive an email when your Identity credential is issued.

DSCSA Credential #

Along with the Identity credential, LedgerDomain supports both Authorized Trading Partner (ATP) and Authority Credentials. ATP Credentials can be used by manufacturers, repackagers, wholesalers, 3PLs, and dispensers. Authority Credentials can be used by state and federal regulators who meet the PDG Blueprint definition of “appropriate Federal or State official.”

Applying for the ATP credential is very simple; just enter the company name and state license number. You will receive an email once the ATP application is approved and the ATP Credential is issued.
