Extended Validation is the most rigorous check a certificate authority performs. Before issuing, the authority confirms that your organisation legally exists, is operational, and that the person requesting the certificate is authorised to do so.
EV follows a standard set by the CA/Browser Forum, so every authority checks the same things. This is why an EV certificate carries more weight than a domain-validated one.
Your company must be a registered legal entity, verified against government or third-party business registries in the country of incorporation.
The authority confirms the business is actively trading, usually via bank records, a verified business phone listing or an attorney letter.
Your registered business address is verified independently, not just accepted from the certificate request form.
The organisation named on the certificate must be the confirmed registrant or authorised user of the domain being secured.
The individual requesting the certificate must be verified as an employee with the authority to enter the agreement on the company's behalf.
A verification call to a phone number independently sourced for your company closes the process before the certificate is issued.
For companies registered in Pakistan, EV verification is the part that slows most orders down: registry records need to match, and the authority needs an independently verifiable phone listing. We do this every week, so we know exactly what each authority will ask for.
Order any EV certificate from us and our team prepares the documentation, liaises with the certificate authority on your behalf and stays with the order until the certificate is issued and installed.
