Frequently asked questions

An Organisation Validated (OV) SSL certificate verifies both your domain and your business identity. It provides a stronger trust signal than a standard DV certificate, as the certificate authority confirms your company details.

A DV certificate only verifies domain ownership. An OV certificate also verifies your organisation's legal identity, making it more appropriate for business websites that handle customer information.

The certificate authority verifies your organisation's legal name, registration details and physical address before issuing the certificate.

OV validation typically completes within one business day, depending on how quickly your organisation details can be confirmed.
