Use these instructions to check the status of your DV certificate order. Then use the DNS TXT DCV method to demonstrate control over the domains in the order.
This validation method lets you demonstrate control over your domains by creating a DNS TXT record containing a DigiCert-generated random value (provided for the domain in your CertCentral account).
After you’ve created the records, DigiCert searches for DNS TXT records on the domains to confirm the presence of your random value.
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Orders.
On the Orders page, use the filters and advanced search features to locate the pending DV certificate order.
In the Order # column for the pending certificate order, select the order number link.
On the Order # details page, in the Order Status section, check the order's validation status (is the order waiting on domain validation to be complete?).
Under You need to, select the Prove control over domains link.
In the Prove control of your domain window, in the Domain control validation (DCV) method dropdown, select DNS TXT Record (recommended).
Create the DNS TXT record for the domain
If your order includes multiple domains, create a DNS TXT record for each domain in the order before running the check.
Does your order include multiple domains? Create a DNS TXT record for each domain on the order first, before you run the check.
If any domains are missing a DNS TXT record with the DigiCert-provided random value, the “check” will fail.
Verify the DNS TXT record
Congratulations! You have completed the domain validation for the domains.
