Is a Comodo EV certificate right for me?

If you sell products or take digital payments on a regular basis, a Comodo EV SSL Certificate is perfect for you. This type of high-level security is, however, reserved for certain types of organization, so please make sure you qualify for an EV SSL Certificate. These organizations include:

Sole traders
General partnerships
Unincorporated associations
DBAs
Government agencies
Incorporated companies
Limited liability (LLC) companies

Getting an EV SSL means your company name must be registered with the appropriate Government Registration Agency in the country or state you apply from. That’s because there is a strict validation process, as you would expect for the highest form of website security possible.

Your Journey to EV SSL

After you buy EV SSL Certificate it takes up to 10 business days (or sometimes longer) to go through the Certificate Authority checks. That’s not as fast as other SSL Certificates, but we are talking very serious levels of security, and that’s what’s most important. Your company must also have been registered and in existence for longer than 3 years, otherwise extra paperwork may be needed. But when it’s over, you will know your customers can purchase with confidence, and you won’t lose out of vital payments or business.

Secure More Customers

You’re getting great value for an EV SSL when you think about the fact that studies show consumers abandon their shopping carts if a site seems unsafe, 90% of consumers have canceled a transaction because of security concerns. Whereas 97% feel safer on websites with an EV certificate.

A Comodo EV SSL certificate solves this issue in a very obvious way, the secure lock symbol in the address bar. Visitors can instantly see that their data and payments are safe. This makes Comodo EV more than just website security. EV SSL is an investment in your businesses future, growing trust, and your organization’s reputation online.

Activation & Validation Checks

Once you go through checkout, we’ll send you a SSL Certificate EV Welcome e-mail with links to activation steps.

But before that happens, here’s a summary of the Certificate Authority checks. They’ll:

1. Make sure you’re a legal entity, registered officially.

2. Verify you have a legitimate place of business which will be included in your EV Certificate i.e. your listed physical address is not a mail drop, P.O. box or third party address.

3. Call you using your publicly listed phone number to make sure it’s active. And the person who signs the SSL contract must be a full-time employee.

4. Verify your operational existence, meaning a check into official records confirming your business is financially and commercially active.
