Important Notice

The VeriSign 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, VeriSign 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. After the contact person has been reached VeriSign issues the certificate.

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 VeriSign 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.
