With the Email domain validation method, we send two sets of DCV emails: WHOIS-based and Constructed. See Domain Control Validation (DCV) Methods).
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.
When ordering your DV certificate, if you chose Email as your DCV method, DigiCert already sent the verification emails. Before resending the DCV emails, make sure to check your inbox and junk/spam folder for emails with the subject [Action Required] Approve Certificate Request for [yourdomain] {Order #}.
In your CertCentral account, in the sidebar menu, go to Certificates > Orders.
On the Orders page, in the Order # column, click the order number link for the pending DV certificate order.
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 completed?).
Under You Need To, click the Prove Control Over Domain link.
In the Prove control of your domain window, in the DCV verification method dropdown, select Email.
In the Send authorization email to dropdown, select the email address you want the DCV email sent to.
For orders with multiple domains:
In the Email language dropdown, select the language for the email.
In the Email details section, note the subject of the email being sent and the order #.
The order # in the subject of the email is actually the certificate ID. On the Order # details page, in the Order Details section, the Certificate ID is next to DCV method and Requested On.
Click Resend Email.
