Bulk issue of certificates

Hi

Before re-inventing the wheel, I am wondering if anyone has had experience
in issuing certificates in bulk to a known group of, say, students (such
as course intake).  The usual process of presenting identification
individually does not apply in this case and that step can legitimately be
omitted - the student's identity has been well and truly established and
documented before having to present to the RA operator.

Incidentally, we are talking about the issue of thousands of certificates
at least initially when we introduce PKI certicates.

I suppose we could require the student to submit a certificate signing
request and allow the RA Operator to process those automatically without
face to face proof of identity.  However, is there another way to do this.

I am interested in what people think about how to handle this situation
efficiently and what are the alternatives.  If I can, I would like not to
have the student re-prove identity.  I am prepared to discuss off list if
that helps.

Regards
