  1. Certificate Approval Process

Organization Validation (OV) Process

Unlike Domain Validated (DV) certificates, OV certificates require the certificate request to undergo organization verification process to confirm the identity and legitimacy of their organization.

  • Validation Process: Validation of the organization's identity, including legal registration and domain ownership.

  • Issuance Time: Longer issuance time compared to DV, but shorter than EV. Typically, issuance in Hours. For exceptional cases, issuance would take 1-5 Business days.

Process Involved:

  1. Domain Control Validation (DCV): Domain Control Validation can be done online and it's an customer friendly automated process.

  2. Organization Validation (OV): Organization Vetting process includes,

    1. Organization Identity & Address verification,

    2. Doing Business As / Tradename verification (if 'O' value provided is a Tradename) &

    3. Authenticity of certificate request verification through Organization Authentication Code submission. emSign delivers the code using reliable method of communication (email / telephone). Requester will receive a link to submit the code to prove the authenticity of the certificate request.

  3. Certificate Signing Request (CSR): As part of SSL OV process, CSR has to be submitted to emSign.
