What does Digicert do to verify my right to use a domain name?

• Digicert first tries to authenticate your company’s management responsibility through publicly available domain name registration information.
• If we cannot automatically authenticate your domain name control, we require an authorization letter from that domain’s owner.
• This step prevents applicants from fraudulently or accidentally obtaining SSL Certificates for domains that do not belong to them.

Only SSL Certificates with EV trigger high-security Web browsers to display your organization’s name in a green address bar and show the name of the Certificate Authority that issued it.
