What is Extended Validation?
Extended Validation (EV) certificates are single-domain SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
certificates that offer the highest degree of authentication and SSL protection.
To ensure this, they require more evaluation and documentation checks for
applicant websites than other certificate types.
DigiCert EV SSL certificates include a manual validation step to confirm:
- The legal, physical, and operational existence of the entity
- That the entity has properly authorized the issuance of the certificate
- That the entity has exclusive right to use the domain specified
- The identity of the entity matches official records
Today's Threat Landscape Demands the EV Approach to SSL
The EV green address bar gives users the rock-solid assurance that they can trust your domain.
Fraudulent websites steal money intended for legitimate businesses every day. EV certs prove you’re a valid business entity.
Protect your brand and your customers by adding a personal authentication step in the validation process.
The extra validation checks EV certificates require provide unparalleled authentication of your business.
More Assurance for Multiple Domains
Multi-domain certificates are easy to manage and can be upgraded to include the assurance of extended validation. Receive EV-specific visual benefits in the browser and boost user trust for every page on your domain or subdomain with a DigiCert EV Multi-Domain Certificate.

Great service
Great service
Kara was very helpful and provided fast replies and clear instructions on what I needed to provide.
Fantastic Service!
I renewed my digicert certificate but since my address is in Japanese, I was worried if anybody could really verify my address and phone number.
There are Japanese speakers, who spoke to me on the phone, and verified my street address with my water bill written in Japanese.
It was very fast and the support is very good.
