Validation Requirements
OptimumSSL and OptimumSSL Wildcard
Before issuing a domain only OptimumSSL Certificate, OptimumSSL CA must authenticate that the entity that requested the certificate is authorized to use the domain for which the certificate is being requested. We can only issue a Web Server Certificate to an organization or individual that can demonstrate control of the domain name in the request by responding to an email message sent to a domain administrator or by supplying documentation that verifies control of the domain.
In almost all cases, simply replying to the email which we send to that domain is enough to validate your OptimumSSL certificate.
After generating your CSR, you will be taken to a web page to select an email address attached to your domain. We shall use this address to contact you in order to complete the application process.
InstantSSL and PremiumSSL Wildcard
Once you have enrolled for your InstantSSL Certificate you will be provided with an Order Number and instructions of what to do next. These instructions will also be emailed to you.
Summary of what we need to do: If we already have a record of your company and domain name(s) we will be able to expedite your SSL application. In most cases, this means that validation of your application and issuance of your SSL Certificate may only take a few minutes.
If we do not already hold sufficient information on your company and domain name(s), or your application data does not completely match the database entry for your website, we may require additional information. These informational requirements will be provided during the enrollment process and via email.
Corporate documentation
We may request your Business License, Articles of Association or DUNS information (depending on your country and incorporation status). If you are a non-incorporated business or use a trading name please contact us for further instructions.
