      Conditions and procedure to obtain a Sectigo EV certificate

      Extended validation (EV) SSL certificates can only be granted to organisations, businesses and companies registered on the commercial register or with the chamber of commerce. This obligation does not apply to Sectigo and Let's Encrypt DV certificates.

      Compare the SSL certificates available

      EV SSL certificate: validation procedure

      It can take up to 24 hours to obtain an EV SSL certificate and requires you to carry out certain operations. From 19 August 2020, this procedure will have to be repeated every 12 months, regardless of the duration of the subscription chosen for the EV certificate. Find out more

      1. Verification of the details of the business

      The data that will be added to the certificate must first be verified by an independent source:

      • the legal or business name
      • the legal status
      • the address
      • the postcode
      • the region / canton / department
      • the country / the country code

      Warning:

      • the name of the business must correspond exactly to the one registered on the commercial register or with the chamber of commerce. The order can only be processed if the name provided is registered and correctly written.
      • only the registered legal name or brand name followed by the legal name in brackets is authorised (e.g.: Brand name [Legal name]). For bodies without a legal name, all trade names can be used.
      • it is prohibited to use a postal address.

      In the light of the above, a new request with correct data in the CSR is sometimes necessary, and we may also need your approval to modify information provided when ordering.

      2. Verification of data in the Whois directory

      The Whois directory displays information concerning the owner of a domain name. This information must correspond to the information provided when ordering the EV SSL certificate.

      To update the information concerning a domain in the Whois:

      • if your domain is managed by Infomaniak, please follow this guide
      • if your domain is not managed by Infomaniak, please contact your host/registrar

      3. EV certificate form and contract

      After ordering an EV certificate, the company contact person designated when placing the order will receive a message from the Sectigo certification body with the following documents:

      • the certificate request form
      • the certificate contract

      These documents are pre-completed and the contact person must validate them on line.

      4. Verification of the professional telephone

      The company contact designated when ordering is contacted by Sectigo by telephone on the number registered with the commercial registry or chamber of commerce. The call will be placed from the Netherlands (+31 88 775 77 77).

      Each request for a certificate is validated by telephone, including renewals and re-issues of multi-domain certificates.

      5. Verification of the domain (external sites only)

       
      The domains of sites hosted by Infomaniak are validated automatically.

      This step verifies that you have the admin rights for the domain for which the certificate is requested.

      Each domain or subdomain must be individually approved through one of the methods described in this guide.

      Use an Infomanial Sectigo certificate on an external site (other host)

      You can benefit from Infomaniak's advantageous rates for your SSL certificates while managing your sites through another host. However, the installation of your certificate will not be automatic:


      • You must manually export the CSR configuration file from your host and enter it when ordering your certificate from Infomaniak.
      • You must validate the domains included in the certificate using one of the following methods:
        • Enter a validation code received at one of the following email addresses:
          • admin@domain-to-confirm.tld
          • administrator@domain-to-confirm.tld
          • hostmaster@domain-to-confirm.tld
          • postmaster@domain-to-confirm.tld
          • webmaster@domain-to-confirm.tld
        • Create a unique CNAME record in the DNS of the domains.
        • txt validation file to be loaded via FTP on your site.

      Differences between an EV and DV certificate

      This guide explains the main differences between EV and DV certificates.


      EV SSL certificates: for companies

      The Sectigo EV SSL certificate can only be issued to companies registered on the commercial register or with the chamber of commerce. It ensures your clients the highest level of trust and offers unique advantages in addition to including the benefits of a DV certificate:

      • Your company name in the navigation bar (find out more)
      • Padlock in the navigation bar
      • Dynamic secure site seal
      • Validation of your domain name
      • Manual authentication of the details and identity of your company
      • Guarantee of up to $1750,000.00 for end users
      • Support 7/7

      Activation of an EV SSL certificate can take up to 24 hours and requires certain actions on your part.


      DV SSL certificates: for companies and individuals

      The Sectigo DV certificate is open to both individuals and companies. It does not include some of the advantages mentioned above, but it does offer extra benefits compared to free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates:

      • Dynamic secure site seal
      • Validation of your domain name
      • Guarantee of up to $10000.00 for end users
      • Support 7/7

      DV SSL certificates are activated immediately.


      And Let's Encrypt certificates?

      A free Let's Encrypt certificate guarantees the same level of encryption as an EV or DV certificate. However, Let's Encrypt certificates do not offer the following benefits:

      • Manual authentication of the details and authenticity of your company (EV)
      • Guarantee for end users in the event of fraud (EV/DV)
      • Support in the event of questions

      In short, Let's Encrypt certificates ensure encryption of communications between your users and your site, but do offer cybernauts the guarantee that they are on a legitimate site the identity of which has been authenticated by a certification body.

      Sectigo SSL certificates: operation of the guarantee

      The guarantee provided with an EV or DV SSL certificate protects your users against incidents linked to any validation errors by Sectigo, the certification body that delivers SSL certificates and validates your personal data.

      The guarantee is therefore applicable if the certification body does not correctly validate the information contained in the digital certificate and if this failure leads to a financial loss for the end user in the context of a fraudulent credit card transaction.

      SSL certificates: adding an official Sectigo trust seal

      This guide explains how to add a dynamic trust seal to a secure site with a Sectigo SSL certificate.

      The trust seal is composed of an image and an HTML code. This latter only functions if a Sectigo certificate is installed on the site and generates an interactive logo that displays the data of the certificate.

      1. Save one of the images below

      Click the image to be saved with the right button of the mouse and then click Save the image under...

      Small

      sign

      Medium

      sign

      Large

      sign

      2. Download the image to your site

      Upload the image to your web server (via FTP or your CMS) and note the URL login towards this image for the next stage (e.g., https://your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/sectigo.png).

       

      3. Integrate this code on the page where the seal is to be displayed

      Insert the following code within the <head></head> tags of your page:

      <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[
      var tlJsHost = ((window.location.protocol == "https:") ? "https://secure.trust-provider.com/" : "http://www.trustlogo.com/");
      document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + tlJsHost + "trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
      //]]>
      </script>

      Insert the following code within the <body></body> tags in the location where the seal is to be displayed:

      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
      TrustLogo("https://votre-site.com/wp-content/uploads/sectigo.png", "CL1", "none");
      </script>

      Warning:

      • do not forget to adapt the image path according to the URL noted during stage 2 above.
      • CL1 corresponds to a DV SSL certificate. Replace CL1 with SC5 for an EV-type certificate.

      Domain: link multiple certificates to a single site

      This guide explains how to add two different EV or DV SSL certificates to the same site. It is not possible to install two SSL certificates on the same site. To be able to install two different certificates on the same site, you need to create two identical sites:
