Extended Validation Certificates

EV SSL Certificates

Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates provide the highest trust level of any digital certificate and are the industry standard for business websites. An EV SSL is recommended for all business and enterprise websites but is especially crucial for any site that requests personal or financial information from users (such as eCommerce).

To obtain this type of SSL/TLS certificate, an organization must confirm details including legal company name, location, and domain name ownership. There is then a vetting process that must be completed by a human before the certificate is issued. Sectigo, a leading Certificate Authority (CA), offers both single domain and multi-domain (UCC / SAN) Extended Validation Certificates.

Validation Requirements

The EV or Extended Validation Certificate has industry standards that must be met and specific documents that must be submitted before it can be issued. Here you will find all the required information and necessary documents needed to verify your business or organization in order to obtain one.

EV validation basics consist of verifying the following:

Organization legal name and that it is in good standing.
Exact organization trade name / DBA (Doing Business As) if applicable.
Who is currently operating the business.
Address of where the business operates.
Organization main listed telephone number.
Who controls the domain(s) listed on the certificate.
Authenticity of the subscriber agreement.

Tips when providing the organization details for an EV SSL certificate:

Use the legally registered name of the organization. Do not enter the trade name/DBA (doing business as) as the legal name of the company.
A trade name can be listed on the certificate with the legal name. The trade name/DBA (doing business as) must be registered in a government agency.
Use the address where the organization conducts business. Do not use PO Box, mail stop/forwarding, care of, virtual office address or a registered agent address.

You can expect:

Complete Domain Control Verification (DCV) to verify the domain(s) are controlled by the organization. This can be completed using 1 of 3 methods: DCV email, CNAME or HTTP(S) challenge.
Telephone call through the main business phone number to the signer listed on the subscriber agreement to verify the signature, authority to sign, if signer is an employee of the organization and signer's title.
An email with any additional actions if required.

This type of SSL certificate provides the highest level of trust when securing an organization’s domain. Website owners must meet the same authentication requirements as they would for an organization validation (OV) SSL, but then must also go through a more strict vetting process that is completed by a human before certificate issuance can occur.

An EV SSL is recommended for any domain that is collecting sensitive information. They have become the industry standard for eCommerce websites where online transactions are being completed. The extra step in the vetting process helps prove organization legitimacy to build customer trust.

At Sectigo®, an EV SSL starts at $174 for the single domain option when you choose a six year subscription. The cost goes up for multi-domain and shorter time periods.

Multi-year plans provide instant savings and consistent coverage in a simplified, long-term solution. While you will have to reissue your certificate each year per industry standards, you're guaranteed the lowest price today, and locked in with coverage for multiple years.
