The organization validation step is where many certificates in validation
spend most of their time. We try to make this step as easy as possible
for you, but there are times where we may need additional help from you.
During the organization validation process, we will try to locate and verify
your business in various databases. If your business is within the US &
Canada, we will contact your Secretary of State or provincial authorities
to verify the existence and validity of your business. If you are in country
outside of the United States, we will attempt to access your data from our
available databases.
In the event that we are unable to find your company information, or if your
company information doesn't match the data on your CSR, we will ask you for
documentation. We can accept almost any type of third-party verifiable
documentation.
We can accept the following types of documentation:
» Articles Of Incorporation (must include State officer seal)
» Fictitious Name / Doing Business As Document
» Business Licensing (state/city licensing, right to use tax permit)
» Bank Statement (must be printed, not from online sources)
» Merchant Account Statement (must be printed)
» Utility/Telephone Bills
We cannot accept the following types of documentation
» Simple letters on corporate letterheads
» Applications for documentation (such as IRS EIN applications)
» Government documents without signatures/seals
If your business has no legal documentation, or you would like to use your
own personal name on your SSL certificate, we will need a copy of your driver's
license, government-issued identification, or passport. Your personal name
will appear on the SSL certificate.
When your documentation is ready, fax the documents to us at 888-691-0066 (US
& Canada) or +1-210-249-4797 (Direct). Please write your order's domain
name on your documentation so that we can match it quickly with your order.
