Add an organization to CertCentral

CertCentral allows you to add organizations to your account before you begin ordering certificates for them.

Once added, you can submit the organization for validation. Also, the organization now appears in the organization menu on the certificate request forms. This makes it easier for you to include the correct organization on the order.

Add an organization

  1. In CertCentral, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Organizations.

    For CertCentral Subscription accounts, go to Validation > Organizations.

  2. On the Organizations page, select New Organization.

  3. On the New Organization page, under Organization details, enter your organization information:

    Legal name

    Assumed name (optional)

    This name appears on the certificates. You can leave this box blank.

    Note: Adding an assumed name requires extra validation, which may delay organization validation.

    Organization phone number
