Transaction Certificates


Transaction Certificates help to track OCIA-certified products from the grower to the grocery shelf

(TCs) verify the origin of the product and is point of sale proof that the product purchased was grown in accordance with the standards for one of OCIA's International Programs.

After you sell your product, you can fill out a TCA (Transaction Certificate Authorization) form and send that to the International Office, or enter your own TC information online. TCs are generated within 48 hours of receipt. The Online Transaction Certificates Transaction Certificate Guidelines have more helpful hints on filling out your TCA.

Online TCs

OCIA's online TC system allows members to enter their own TCs from their business or home computers. Members can print out a copy of the TC they enter with a water mark stating that the document is a "Provisional Certificate." The official document will then be mailed within 48-hours.


Members must have a password to use the online TC system. An initial password will be assigned and can later be changed.
