How to Verify Tamil Nadu e-Sevai (TNeGA) Certificate Digital Signature Online

The Government of Tamil Nadu delivers citizen revenue services digitally through the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA) e-Sevai portal (edistricts.tn.gov.in / tnesevai.tn.gov.in). Thousands of students and citizens download vital certificates every day, including:

• Community Certificate (BC / MBC / SC / ST caste certificate)
• Income Certificate (required for post-matric scholarships and fee concessions)
• Nativity & Residence Certificate (essential for TNEA engineering & medical admissions)
• First Graduate Certificate (for tuition fee waivers)
• Legal Heir Certificate (Varisu Sanrithazh)
• Deserted Woman & Destitute Widow Certificates

Why Does Your Tamil Nadu e-District Certificate Show a Yellow Question Mark?

When Tahsildars, Zonal Deputy Tahsildars, or Revenue Divisional Officers (RDOs) issue these certificates, the document is digitally signed using an electronic cryptographic token (Class 3 DSC) issued by a licensed Certifying Authority (such as eMudhra or NIC CA).

When you open the PDF file in default browser viewers or mobile applications, the viewer warns:

"Signature Validity Unknown — The validity of the document certification is uncertain."

This happens because the certificate authority's root certificate is not pre-installed in your device's local trust store.
