Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates
Extended Validation (EV) is the most thorough identity check a Certificate Authority performs - the legal, physical and operational existence of your organisation, under the CA/Browser Forum EV Guidelines. Browsers no longer show a special address-bar indicator, but the verified details sit in the certificate for customers, security tools and procurement teams to check. Issuance typically takes 3-5 business days.

Frequently asked questions
How long does EV validation take?
Typically 3-5 business days. The CA verifies the legal, physical and operational existence of your organisation; having your registration documents and a reachable company phone number ready speeds it up.
Is EV worth it over OV?
EV performs the strictest identity verification of any certificate type, which is valued by banks, payment platforms and high-profile brands. If your priority is the maximum demonstrable assurance of your organisation's identity, EV is the top tier.
Which brands offer EV?
EV certificates are available from DigiCert, Comodo, Thawte, GeoTrust and Sectigo, including multi-domain (SAN) EV for several sites. EV is never available as a wildcard.
