OV SSL verification requirements
Organization Validation (OV) SSL verifies your business identity — not just your domain.
Before issuing an Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificate, Pladinum verifies that your business is genuine and actively operating. This process includes verifying your company’s basic details, such as its registered location, a reachable business phone number, and control over the domain you want to secure.
Once these checks are completed and approved, your SSL certificate is issued and ready to use.
This added verification makes OV SSL certificates a strong choice for customer-facing websites, as they provide both encryption and visible proof that your organization is legitimate. OV SSL certificates are available for single domains, multiple domains, and wildcard setups, giving businesses flexibility as they grow.
Most OV SSL certificates are issued within 1–2 business days. Pladinum guides you through every step at no extra cost.
Organization Validation We verify your company is real and legally registered
Sectigo and Pladinum verifies that your company is officially registered and operating as a real business.
Make sure the company name, address, and details you enter during checkout match what is registered with your local authority.
Once confirmed, we proceed with securing your website under your verified business identity.
Locality Validation Verify your registered business location
Sectigo will confirm that your organization has a legitimate physical presence in the country or region you provide. This is typically checked against trusted government or business databases.
If anything needs clarification, We will contact you with clear next steps.
Telephone Validation Confirm your business contact number
Your business must have an active, publicly listed phone number that matches your registered company details.
This helps prove that your organization can be reached and is actively operating under its legal name.
Domain Validation Prove you control your domain
We verify that your organization owns or controls the domain you want to secure.
This is done using secure methods such as DNS verification, website file validation, or confirmation via an approved domain email address.
For faster and future-proof validation, Pladinum recommends DNS-based verification.
Final Verification Call Quick confirmation to complete setup
As a final step, we make a short phone call to confirm the order.
You or an authorized contact simply need to answer and confirm the request. Once completed, your OV SSL certificate is issued and ready to use.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificate?
An Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificate secures your website with strong encryption and verifies that your business is a real, legally registered organization. Visitors can trust not only the connection, but also who they are communicating with.
Why should a business choose OV SSL instead of DV SSL?
DV SSL only proves domain ownership. OV SSL goes further by confirming your company’s identity, making it ideal for business websites, SaaS platforms, and customer-facing services where trust and credibility matter.
What information is verified for an OV SSL certificate?
For OV SSL, the certificate authority verifies:
• Your company’s legal registration
• Your registered business address
• A valid, reachable business phone number
• Your control over the domain
This ensures your organization is legitimate and actively operating.
How long does OV SSL verification take?
OV SSL certificates are typically issued within 1–2 business days after verification is completed. With Pladinum, the process is guided and streamlined to avoid delays.
Does OV SSL improve trust for website visitors?
Yes. OV SSL provides visible proof that your website belongs to a verified organization. This helps visitors feel safer when submitting contact forms, logging in, or sharing sensitive information.
Is OV SSL required for e-commerce or online payments?
OV SSL is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended for any website that handles customer data, business communications, or transactions. It offers a higher trust level than DV SSL without the complexity of EV SSL.
Can OV SSL be used for multiple domains or subdomains?
Yes. OV SSL certificates are available as:
• Single-domain
• Multi-domain (SAN)
• Wildcard
This makes OV SSL suitable for growing businesses with multiple websites or subdomains.
Will OV SSL remove “Not Secure” warnings in browsers?
Yes. Like all SSL certificates, OV SSL enables HTTPS and removes browser security warnings, while also adding an extra layer of business credibility behind the scenes.
What are the advantages of choosing a multi-year SSL plan?
A multi-year SSL plan helps you save money while keeping your website protected long-term. You secure today’s price upfront and avoid future price increases, while enjoying uninterrupted coverage over multiple years.
Although SSL certificates are reissued annually due to industry rules, your plan remains active for the full term—giving you predictable costs, fewer renewals to manage, and long-term peace of mind.
