Organization Validation certificates or OV certificates are a type of SSL technology that provides full 256-bit encryption for legally registered business and organization websites. The difference between OV certificates and domain-validated certificates (DVs) is that additional checking is necessary to confirm that you do not only own your domain but that your organization is also legitimate. But do not worry ! As long as your business is registered, the validation process is not a problem. In most cases, it only takes a few days to validate your application and obtain the certificate.
Advantages of OV Certificates
Verification by a trusted third party
Les internautes savent qu’ils peuvent faire confiance à des noms comme Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte, RapidSSL et Comodo. People know they can trust names like Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte, RapidSSL and Comodo. When these companies can guarantee that you are what you say, this will make a person more likely to do business with you. Consumers today are becoming increasingly vigilant when shopping online, so Web sites protected by an OV SSL certificate have a distinct advantage over DV certificates with a much lower level of verification.
Contains your company’s information in the certificate
Another benefit of OV certificates is that they come with a variety of visible trust indicators that will tell visitors to your site that your business has been validated. With an OV certificate, your web address changes from HTTP to HTTPS and a lock icon appears in the address bar – two well-known security and reputable signs.
Show that you are a real company!
SSL technology aims to protect you as well as visitors to your site and to ensure that visitors feel safe on your site. If you are an online store (e-commerce), you collect personal information or simply want visitors to your site to be informed that they are dealing with a legally registered business, an OV certificate is a simple first step. The EV certificate is the next step!
F A Q :
In order to receive a DV certificate from one of our Trusted Certification Authorities (CA), you only have to prove that you own the domain you want to protect. Because no extended validation process is required, DV certificates are the most affordable type of SSL on the planet.
Obtaining an “OV” certificate requires checking the registration of your company. If the Certificate Authority (CA) can verify this information using online government databases, no additional documentation will be required. However, if online filings are not available or inaccurate or are not up to date, the CA may request additional official registration documents from your government, which vary from case to case. A list of Dun & Bradstreet can generally meet most requirements for an OV certificate.
EV certificates require a more rigorous verification process than OV certificates. To understand the basics of this procedure, please refer to the question above about verifying OV certificates. Please note that EV certificates require you to complete a few additional steps, including proof of physical and operational existence as well as making a simple phone call with the Certificate Authority (CA) directly.
