There are a few things you need to have before you can make a Winqual submission.

Apply for a VeriSign Organizational Certificate ID or a VeriSign “Microsoft Authenticode” Digital ID.

The certificate is required to establish an account at the Windows Dev Center – Hardware Dashboard and to digitally sign your driver(s).
