What are OV SSL Certificates?

Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificates offer a higher level of trust than DV by having the Certificate Authority verify the legal existence and identity of the requesting organization. Beyond domain ownership, the CA checks business registrations, physical address, and phone number. The organization details are visible in the certificate, giving visitors concrete assurance of the site's legitimacy.

Who Needs an OV Certificate?

OV certificates are ideal for business websites, e-commerce stores, web portals, and any organization that wants to prove its verified identity to customers. They are especially recommended for businesses that collect personal data, process online transactions, or need to meet compliance standards. Organization verification builds user trust and can improve conversion rates.

How Does OV Validation Work?

The OV validation process typically takes 1-3 business days. The Certificate Authority verifies the company's legal registration through public databases or official documentation, confirms the physical address and phone number, and contacts the organization to complete verification. Once complete, the certificate includes the company name in its details.
