GoDaddy EV SSL Certificate frequently asked questions.
What is an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate?
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 year 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.
Who can get an 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.
How will my customers know an EV SSL Certificate is helping protect my site?
A Website with an EV SSL Certificate will display a trust indicator and HTTPS prefix. It shows shoppers it’s on an encrypted website and that their credit card information — and any other sensitive data they've submitted — is encrypted.
What's the difference between an Extended Validation (EV) Certificate and Organization Validation (OV) or Domain Validated (DV) Certificates?
Domain Validation (DV) Certificates are easiest of all the certificates to get. There's no manual identity check, only an automated verification that the applicant owns the domain behind the website. If you have a personal website or blog, a DV SSL Certificate is fine for you.
Organization Validation (OV) Certificates take security up a level and require human verification of the organization’s identity. The same is true for Extended Validation (EV) Certificates, which verify not just domain ownership but business identity, legal status and address. The vetting process for the EV cert is more in-depth than any of the other Certificates, so EV SSL Certificates give customers more confidence. The increased scrutiny rules out the chance that a hacker or phisher could get an EV Certificate.
