Review certificate readiness

Reviewing certificate readiness helps prevent delays during validation and issuance.

Before you begin

Before requesting certificates, you must complete configuring the account, organization, and domain.

Check organization validation

Ensure your organization is validated:

  1. In the CertCentral main menu, go to Account > Organizations.

  2. Confirm the organization status is validated.

Notice

OV and EV certificates cannot be requested until organization validation is complete.

Check domain validation

  1. In the CertCentral main menu, go to Validation > Domains.

  2. Confirm the domain status is validated.

Validated domains allow you to request certificates without additional verification steps.

Completing these checks ensures a smooth certificate issuance process.
