Add a domain, authorize the domain for certificates, and use verification email as the DCV method
Demonstrate control over your domain with verification email
Before you begin
Note
Before you can prevalidate a domain for SSL/TLS validation, you must first submit its organization for prevalidation. To use the domain for OV, EV, and/or Private SSL certificates, you must submit its organization for those matching validation types.
To demonstrate control over the domain, an email recipient follows the instructions in a confirmation email sent for the domain. The confirmation process consists of visiting the link provided in the email and following the instructions on the page. See Domain pre-validation: Domain control validation (DCV) methods.
Add domain, authorize for certificates, and select the verification email
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Domains.
On the Domains page, select New Domain.
On the New Domain page, under Domain Details, enter the following information:
Domain Name: Enter the domain name the certificates will secure (for example, yourdomain.com).
Organization: In the dropdown, select the organization to which you want to assign the domain.
Under Domain Control Validation (DCV) Method, select Verification Email.
To demonstrate control over the domain, an email recipient follows the instructions in a confirmation email sent for the domain.
Select the email addresses where you want the verification email sent.
When you are finished, select Submit for Validation.
What's next
DigiCert will send the verification email to the address(es) you selected.
