How to obtain a CAcert Assurer pin
You can obtain a CAcert Assurer label at the bigger events where CAcert Assurances events are being organized.
With this (informal) CAcert Assurer label (a pin) you can make you known as CAcert Assurer so someone can easily find you on CAcert Assurance events.
How to become a CAcert Association member
Most of us enjoy the CAcert free certficate service. But some of us also want to help out to make this service a long term and reliable free service. The base for this is done and carried out by persons joined by the CAcert Inc. association. If you want to join the association have a look at CAcert Association Membership For only 10 US$ per year and remember you need two current association members to nominate in order to join.

DNS outage
Update: We apologize, but there are still problems with our DNS. We still are working on the problem.
Unfortunatley our main DNS provider had an outage today, which caused the website to be unreachable. We are still working on it, but most systems should be working again already. We are sorry for the disruption.
