Steps for retrieving a PKI generated key certificate

Perform the following steps to retrieve your PKI generated key certificate.

1. The email informing you that your certificate is ready to be picked up appears similar to the one shown in Figure 1. You have two alternatives:
   • Clink the link for your certificate in the email.
   • Copy the transaction ID from the email. Go to the PKI Services home page (see Figure 1). Paste the transaction ID into the field labeled "Enter the assigned transaction ID" and click Pick up certificate.
