EV SSL Certificates
Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates provide the highest trust level of any digital certificate and are the industry standard for business websites. An EV SSL is recommended for all business and enterprise websites but is especially crucial for any site that requests personal or financial information from users (such as eCommerce).

Certificates Are Expiring Fast. Are You Ready?
The industry is cutting certificate lifespans by nearly 90%. If you're buying certificates one at a time, this changes what you have to do and how often you have to do it. What this means for you:
- You'll buy more often. Every certificate you own turns into a recurring purchase, not an annual one.
- You'll validate more often. Validation reuse drops to 10 days by 2029. You'll re-prove ownership every time.
- You'll have less room for error. One missed renewal means browser warnings, a down site, and lost sales. 81% of organizations already hit a certificate outage in the past year.
- Spreadsheets and calendar reminders won't keep up. What was a once-a-year task becomes a standing operational job.
Today you're buying a certificate that expires in 200 days. By 2029, it'll expire in 47.
That means more certificates to buy, more renewals to track, and more chances to miss one and take your site offline. Automation is how you stop managing certificates one at a time.

Validation Requirements
The Extended Validation Certificate requires meeting CA/B Forum industry standards and submitting specific documents before it can be issued. To obtain this type of SSL/TLS certificate, an organization must confirm details including legal company name, location, and domain name ownership, followed by a human-conducted vetting process before issuance.
Here you will find all the required information and documents needed to verify your business or organization in order to obtain one. Sectigo, a leading Certificate Authority (CA), offers both single domain and multi-domain (UCC / SAN) Extended Validation Certificates.
EV validation basics consist of verifying the following:
The organization’s legal name and that it is in good standing.
The organization’s exact trade name / DBA (Doing Business As) if applicable.
The current operator(s) of the business.
The business's operational address.
The primary telephone number is listed for the organization.
Control and ownership of the domain(s) specified on the certificate.
The authenticity of the subscriber agreement.
Tips when providing the organization details for an EV SSL certificate:
Use the legally registered organization name. Do not enter the trade name/DBA (doing business as) as the company's legal name.
A trade name can be listed on the certificate with the legal name. The trade name/DBA must be registered in a government agency.
Use the address where the organization conducts business. Do not use a PO Box, mail stop/forwarding, care of, virtual office address, or a registered agent address.
You can expect:
Complete Domain Control Verification (DCV) to verify domain ownership by the organization. This can be completed using 1 of 3 methods: DCV email, CNAME, or HTTP(S) challenge.
A telephone call through the main business phone number to the signer listed on the subscriber agreement to verify the signature, authority to sign, if the signer is an employee of the organization, and the signer's title.
An email with any additional actions, if required.

This type of SSL certificate provides the highest level of trust when securing an organization’s domain. Website owners must meet the same authentication requirements as they would for an organization validation (OV) SSL, but then must also go through a more strict vetting process that is completed by a human before certificate issuance can occur.
An EV SSL is recommended for any domain that is collecting sensitive information. They have become the industry standard for eCommerce websites where online transactions are being completed. The extra step in the vetting process helps prove an organization’s legitimacy to build customer trust.
At Sectigo®, an EV SSL starts at $257.66 for the single domain option when you choose a six-year subscription. The cost goes up for EV multi-domain certificates and shorter time periods.
Multi‑year certificates provide upfront savings and predictable pricing while helping you stay ahead of industry‑mandated certificate lifespan changes.
Due to evolving browser and CA requirements, SSL/TLS certificates are now issued with shorter validity periods (currently up to 199 days), which means certificates must be reissued more frequently within the subscription term. With a multi‑year plan, you lock in today’s lowest price and maintain uninterrupted coverage for the full subscription period—without needing to repurchase each time a certificate is reissued.
As certificate lifespans continue to shrink toward the upcoming 47‑day standard, multi‑year subscriptions offer a simpler, more cost‑effective way to manage frequent reissuance while maintaining continuous security.
