For regulatory requirements: yes !

I currently for EIDAS certificates, I can only choose a vouched certificate provider, and it's mostly somes that requires me to in person with my ID card with someone verifying the guy who made the CSR is actually me.

The certificate is used for double SSL to authentify the server doing the request , i.e that the server doing an API call to the bank server is one I own. (I find it a pretty neat solution and much better than requiring to make a theater dance to get a token to renew every 3600 seconds )



Well, its eidas, ofc you need to show the id


I know, it was to give example of why not every certificate can be "let's encrypt" and why some people still pay for certificate in 2025.
