Before issuing your certificate, we must:

  1. Validate the organization

    Organization validation is valid for 825 days. See How do we validate your organization

    If you add a new organization or an organization with expired validation, DigiCert completes the organization validation as part of the order process.

  2. Verify identities of

    Certificate requester

    Before we can issue your certificate, DigiCert must validate and authenticate your authority to order a certificate for the organization on your certificate order.  

    Authorized representative 

    The authorized representative is in the company registry, represents the organization, and has the authority to approve your AATL eSeal requests. Before DigiCert can issue your certificate, one of the authorized representatives in your request must approve the order. 

    DigiCert validates all the authorized representatives in your request. Then, we send them the approval email and wait for one of them to approve your order. Only after one of the representatives approves the order can DigiCert issue your certificate. 

    See Verify your identity

    Once the validation process is complete, our team confirms that the certificate is issued and added to the signing service.
