Important Notice

The Thawte SSL certificates can only be issued to applicants or companies that are recorded in the commercial register. Certificates are not issued for private persons or companies constituted under civil law which are not listed in the commercial register.

Order Process

After receiving your order, Thawte begins with the verification of the applicant. In order to do this, the company is searched for in the available databases. If the applicant is verified, a telephone call is made to the specified administrative contact person.

The telephonic verification process is carried out in several steps. The first step is to verify whether the specified contact person works for the company (Human Resources Department). The second step is to verify whether the specified contact person is authorized to order a certificate (superior). If the information is confirmed, the contact person will be contacted by telephone. The certificate will only be issued after the contact person has been reached.

Please note

• Costs are incurred for every new contact person entered for this certificate. You should therefore carefully consider whom you put forward as the administrative contact person.
• The Whois entry must correspond exactly with that of the applicant. Please pay careful attention to the legal form of your company name.

If Thawte is not able to complete verification through the databases, the administrative contact person will receive an e-mail requesting missing information to be faxed. As soon as the documents are received, the order will be processed.
