Add an organization to your CertCentral account

CertCentral allows you to add organizations to your account before you start ordering certificates for them. Once you've added them, you can then submit them for validation. The other benefit is that the organization then appears in the organization drop-down list on the request forms (e.g., TLS certificate request forms). Making it easier for users to include the correct organization on their order.

Add an organization

  1. In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Organizations.

  2. On the Organizations page, select New Organization.

  3. On the New Organization page, under Organization Details, enter the specified organization information:
