Validations
Validation is the process of verifying that a user or an organization are who they say they are. You can get a validation by remotely verifying your identity or meeting an authorized professional in person. See Verify your identity.
To validate an organization, DigiCert might require various identification checks to comply with local, regional, or industry-specific regulations.
