Certificadora del Sur

What Certificadora del Sur does

Certificadora del Sur is a Chilean digital certification authority operating under Ley 19.799 from its headquarters in Los Ángeles, Bio-Bio. The company issues Class 3 digital certificates and electronic signature services for natural persons, with the core 'FirmaTributaria' product enabling Chilean businesses and individuals to sign electronic invoices through the SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) portal and register in the MIPYME system. It also offers the 'Evoto' electronic voting system authorized by the Dirección del Trabajo, the 'Smartinvoice' and 'GenerateFes' APIs for electronic invoicing and document signing, a 'Printickets' mobile application for electronic receipt management on Android, and a suite of identity-validation services (Checkidentitycard, PersonalInformation, Check e-Rut) that integrate with the Registro Civil.

The underlying technology combines hardware cryptographic devices (e-Token USB tokens or custodied mass storage), multi-platform compatibility across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android, and API endpoints for integration with SII, Registro Civil, and Dirección del Trabajo systems. The company describes itself as an 'empresa naciente' (nascent company) with 7 employees, no disclosed funding, and no parent or institutional ownership; it operates as an independent private entity.

The business model is primarily transactional: digital certificate sales operate on a one-time license basis, while API integration services (Smartinvoice, GenerateFes, Printickets) run on subscription/recurring terms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through email and WhatsApp contact. Distribution is self-serve e-commerce via the company website, supplemented by direct inside-sales for enterprise inquiries and limited in-person enrollment at the Bio-Bio headquarters. Customer segments are Chilean SMBs and individuals requiring SII-compliant electronic signatures, organizations needing authorized electronic voting, and integrators consuming the validation APIs.
