DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

U. S. Department of Labor Certificate Center

The U.S. Department of Labor's-Office of Labor Management Standards (OLMS) has introduced the new forms LM-2, LM-3 and LM-4 electronic software. The LM-2 form requires a digital signature for electronic submission, using an ACES digital certificate. The certificates can also be used with the LM-3 and LM-4 forms. IdenTrust, formerly Digital Signature Trust (DST), provides the easiest and most reliable way to obtain ACES Digital Certificates. If you are filing a LM-2 form, you will either need to apply for an ACES Business Representative certificate or if you are willing to give out more personal information you may purchase an Unaffiliated Individual certificate (see below for personal information required under PURPOSE/USAGE).

IdenTrust was the first certified ACES issuer by the GSA. We have been issuing ACES certificates for over 6 years. Customers have provided written and verbal feedback on their high level of satisfaction based on our superb customer service.

Please note: ONLY THE SUBSCRIBER OF THE CERTIFICATE SHOULD HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE - THE DIGITAL CERTIFICATE IS YOUR FORM OF IDENTIFICATION, SIMILAR TO YOUR PASSPORT OR DRIVERS LICENSE. Under the GSA Certificate Policy, it is our responsibility as an Authorized Certificate Authority to revoke the certificate in a case of loss or disclosure of the private key (Passphrase) to anyone other than the subscriber.

There are 2 types of ACES digital certificate from which to choose in order to file the LM-2 forms electronically:

Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES)
CERTIFICATE TYPE	SUBSCRIBER	PURPOSE/USAGE	COST
