What is an EV SSL Certificate?

An EV SSL Certificate (Extended Validation) not only provides encryption but also ties your verified company name to the certificate, offering unmatched credibility. Modern browsers show the verified organization in the certificate details after a rigorous validation process. This is especially valuable for industries where security and trust are critical, such as finance and e-commerce.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Extended Validation (EV)?
Extended Validation is the highest certificate validation level. The CA verifies your legal business name, address, operational existence, and authorization before issuing. The process takes 3–7 business days.
How is EV different from OV (High Assurance)?
Both verify your organization, but EV applies a stricter standardized process defined by the CA/B Forum. EV certificates also carry a higher warranty ($1.75M vs $1.25M for OV).
Does EV still show a green address bar?
Modern browsers removed the green address bar in 2019. The verified organization name still appears when users inspect certificate details — visible to compliance reviewers and security-aware users.
What is the $1.75M warranty?
SSL.com's EV warranty covers losses resulting from a CA mis-issuance. The higher amount reflects the rigorous EV validation process and the CA's confidence in it.
Is EV worth it for e-commerce?
Yes, for high-transaction or regulated environments. EV is commonly required by payment processors and compliance frameworks, and verified identity helps convert security-conscious buyers.
