Extended Validation (EV) is the highest class of SSL Certificate available. It uses the same powerful encryption as other SSLs, but getting one requires a thorough vetting of the applicant’s business. Only those businesses that pass this process will receive an EV SSL Certificate. 

Before we grant an EV Certificate, one of our staff members verifies that the business listed on the application is:

• Legally registered
• Currently in operation
• At the address listed
• At the telephone number listed
• Owns the website domain name 

You’ll need to pass this vetting process every two years to keep your Extended Validation (EV) SSL. Any business that sells products or accepts payment information online should use an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate.

Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are only granted to the following organizations, businesses and corporations:

• Incorporated or limited liability companies that are legally registered with a “Good Standing,” “Active,” or equivalent status. 

• Business entities such as general partnerships, unincorporated associations, DBAs and sole proprietorships.

Many have come close to making an online purchase, only to abandon their order due to security concerns.

Websites secured with an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate feature a padlock and HTTPS prefix. This visual cue reassures shoppers that they are on a secure, encrypted website, where their credit card details and other sensitive information are protected.

We offer a complete range of certificates that comply with CA/Browser Forum guidelines. All our certificates feature:

• SHA-2 hash algorithm and 2048-bit encryption
• Outstanding security support
