Complete validation from the Order details page (OV and EV)
After submitting an OV or EV certificate request, complete domain validation from the Order details page for any domains that are not already pre-validated.
Complete validation
In CertCentral, go to the OV or EV TLS certificate's Order # details page.
For Enterprise, Partner, and Legacy accounts: In the CertCentral menu, go to Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, in the Order # column, select the certificate order number link.
For Subscription accounts: In the CertCentral menu, go to My Digital Trust Products > Certificates. On the Certificates page, in the Order # column, select the certificate order number link.
On the Order # details page, in the Certificate status section, check the order's issuance status. Confirm the order is waiting on domain validation to be completed.
When validation is complete, the Certificate status section no longer appears on the page.
Under What do you need to do, select the select the domain link for the domain you need to validate.
Repeat this for each domain requiring validation.
In the Prove control over your domain window, in the Domain control validation (DCV) method menu, use the selected DCV method or select a different DCV method if needed.
Complete the validation steps for your selected DCV method:
For Persistent DNS TXT record: See Validate domains on a pending OV or EV TLS certificate using persistent DNS TXT records.
For DNS TXT record: See Add and validate a domain using DNS TXT record (Step II and Step III).
For DNS CNAME record: See Add and validate a domain using DNS CNAME record (Step II and Step III).
For HTTP Practical Demonstration: See Add and validate a domain using HTTP Practical Demonstration (Step II and Step III).
For HTTP Practical Demonstration with unique file name: See Add and validate a domain using HTTP Practical Demonstration with unique file name (Step II and Step III).
For email validation: See Validate a domain using email validation methods.
If using Persistent DNS TXT, DNS TXT, CNAME, or HTTP Practical Demonstartion DCV methods, under 5. Complete domain validation, select Check record or Check site.
Run the check manually or wait for DigiCert's automatic DCV check to detect the validation artifact. See Automatic domain control validation (DCV) check .
When domain control is confirmed:
For Persistent DNS TXT record: Do not delete the DNS TXT records after the domain is validated. Leave the DNS TXT record and persistent TXT value in place for future domain validations.
For HTTP Practical Demonstration, DNS TXT record, DNS CNAME record: You may delete the record or file used to validate the domain.
What's next
DigiCert validates the domain after detecting the required validation artifact or receiving approval from the domain contact. When all domains are validated, DigiCert proceeds with certificate issuance.
