Ordering DV certificates

The certificate lifecycle begins when you log into your account and request a DV certificate for a domain. You can only request certificates authorized for your account (in other words, for your company/organization).

Important

On October 31, 2023, DigiCert will no longer sell 4 – 6-year Multi-year Plans for TLS and VMC certificates. We will continue to offer 1, 2, and 3-year Multi-year Plans.

Learn more about changes to Multi-year Plan coverage.

Prerequisites

Before you can begin ordering DV SSL/TLS certificates, your sales representative must enable DV certificates for your CertCentral account. Then, in the left main menu, go to Settings > Product Settings. On the Product Settings page, you can enable the DV certificate products.

Depending on the structure of your account, you may be able to request the following types of DV certificates: GeoTrust DV SSL, RapidSSL Standard DV, and RapidSSL Wildcard DV.

GeoTrust DV SSL

GeoTrust DV SSL certificates let you secure multiple domains (example.com) and wildcard domains (*.example.com) with one certificate. Ideal for cloud service providers and hosting companies. See Order a GeoTrust DV SSL certificate.
