Maximum phishing & fraud protection
The depth of verification makes convincing impersonation of your business significantly harder.
Built for regulated, high-value sites
A natural fit where compliance frameworks or transaction risk call for the strongest identity assurance.
Verified company details
Your certificate carries your confirmed legal name, jurisdiction, and registration number.

Note: EV certificates are issued for a maximum term of 1 year per CA/Browser Forum rules, so annual renewal is required even on multi-year billing arrangements.
What is an EV SSL certificate?
It's the highest tier of SSL — Extended Validation. Before issuing it, the certificate authority verifies your business is real, registered, and legally operating. That's why sites with EV SSL show the company name in browser details, not just a padlock.
What it verifies
Legal existence, physical location, operational activity, and your organization's exclusive right to use the domain.
What it protects
Everything DV and OV protect, plus the strongest available assurance for high-value transactions and regulated services.
How browsers display it
Modern browsers no longer show a colored address bar for EV — your verified company name instead appears in the certificate details when a visitor inspects the padlock.
EV certificates carry your verified legal name, jurisdiction of registration, and business registration number in the certificate subject fields.
Extended Validation process
EV follows a fixed sequence defined by the CA/Browser Forum's Extended Validation Guidelines — the same checklist at every trusted CA.
Why EV SSL matters
Encryption is table stakes. EV exists for the moments where visitors need more than an encrypted connection — they need to know exactly who's on the other end.
Signals maximum legitimacy
The most demanding validation standard available is a clear signal of operational maturity.
Meets compliance expectations
Some regulated industries and security reviews treat EV as the expected baseline, not an upgrade.
Deters sophisticated phishing
The verification depth raises the bar significantly for anyone attempting to impersonate your brand.
Builds confidence at high stakes
For large transactions or sensitive data, verified identity reduces hesitation at the moment it matters most.
Validation requirements
EV verification checks more than any other certificate type — plan for a more involved application than DV or OV.
Legal existence
Registered and in good standing, typically for at least three years, or supported by a legal opinion letter.
Physical existence
A verifiable operating address, confirmed independently of what you submit.
Operational existence
Evidence the business is actively trading, not just registered on paper.
Exclusive domain rights
Confirmed legal right to use the domain being secured, beyond simple DNS control.
Authorized requester & approver
Named individuals with confirmed authority to request and approve the certificate.
Legal opinion letter (where needed)
Required for newer entities or complex structures that public records alone can't confirm.
Certificate Authority (CA) verification
EV review is performed by a trained validation specialist and then independently checked by a second reviewer before anything is approved.
Government & legal registries
Confirms your entity is active, registered, and in good standing with the relevant authority.
Independent third-party sources
Cross-checks business details against sources the applicant doesn't control.
Second-level quality review
A separate reviewer independently re-checks the file before issuance is approved.
Identity match
Legal name and registration number must align exactly across every source checked.
Callback verification
A call to an independently sourced number confirms the approver's authority.
Domain linkage
Confirms the domain is legally and technically under the applicant's control.
Mismatch escalation
Any discrepancy pauses issuance for manual review before it can proceed.
Required documents
Exact requirements vary by jurisdiction, but most EV reviews draw from this list.
Certificate of incorporation
Or equivalent government registration filing for your entity type.
Proof of physical address
Recent utility bill, lease, or bank statement matching your registered location.
Proof of operational existence
Business license, tax filing, or bank reference confirming active trading.
Approver identification
Government-issued ID for the individual confirming the request.
Legal opinion letter
From a licensed attorney, required when public records can't confirm your details directly.
Verification timeline
Most EV certificates are issued in five to ten business days. Complex ownership structures or newly registered entities can take longer.
Speeds it up
Well-established entity, records match exactly, approver responds promptly.
Slows it down
New entities, complex ownership, or a required legal opinion letter.
Order placed & CSR submitted
Business, legal, and domain details are submitted alongside your CSR.
Legal & physical existence verified
Registry and independent sources confirm your entity is real and active.
Operational existence & domain rights
Ongoing business activity and exclusive domain rights are confirmed.
Second-level quality review
An independent reviewer re-checks the completed file before approval.
Certificate issued
Once every check clears, your EV certificate is signed and delivered.
HTTPS, TLS & PKI
Verification aside, an EV certificate encrypts traffic exactly the way any trusted SSL/TLS certificate should.
TLS encryption
256-bit TLS encryption
Modern cipher suites keep data unreadable to anyone intercepting the connection.
TLS handshake
Browser and server negotiate a shared session key before any data is exchanged.
Data integrity
TLS detects tampering in transit, so pages and form submissions arrive unmodified.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Your certificate is one piece of a larger trust system that lets browsers verify authenticity without a direct relationship with your business.
Public & private key pair
Your server holds a private key; the certificate publishes the matching public key.
CA signature
The CA cryptographically signs your certificate, vouching for the verified identity it contains.
Your private key never leaves your server — it's what proves you legitimately hold the certificate on every connection.
CSR
Certificate Signing Request
Generated on your server, containing your public key and exact legal business details.
Subject fields matter
EV requires your CSR's organization fields to match your legal registration exactly.
Certificate chain
Root → Intermediate → Leaf
Your certificate chains up through an intermediate to a trusted root the browser already knows.
Chain installation
Your server must present the full chain so any browser can trace it back to a trusted root.
EV vs. OV vs. DV
All three encrypt equally well. What changes is how much identity verification stands behind the certificate.
| Feature | EV | OV | DV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verifies domain control | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Verifies business identity | Yes, strictly | Yes | No |
| Independent second-level review | Yes | No | No |
| Typical issuance time | 3–7 business days | 1–3 business days | ~5 minutes |
| Organization name in certificate | Yes | Yes | No |
| Wildcard available | Not available | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Banks, large e-commerce | Business & B2B sites | Blogs, personal sites |
Product options
EV coverage is deliberately narrower than DV or OV — a direct result of how strict the underlying verification is.
Single-Domain EV
- Covers one exact hostname
- Verifies one legal entity
- Best for a primary corporate or transactional site
Multi-Domain EV (SAN)
- Covers up to 5 distinct domains
- One verified business, multiple properties
- Best for companies running several branded sites
Why wildcard EV isn't available.CA/Browser Forum guidelines don't permit wildcard EV certificates. A wildcard covers subdomains that don't exist yet, which conflicts with EV's requirement to verify the applicant's exclusive right to use each specific hostname being secured. If you need wildcard coverage, an OV wildcard certificate is the closer match.
