What is an OV Document Signing Certificate?

An OV Document Signing certificate verifies your organization's legal identity and binds the verified company name to your document signing capability. Signed PDFs and Office files show your company as the verified signer — not just a name, but a CA-verified organization identity. Recipients using Adobe Reader or any AATL-compatible tool see the signature as trusted. It's the standard document signing tier for businesses that sign contracts, invoices, policies, and compliance documents.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is OV Document Signing different from IV?
IV validates an individual person — the signature shows your legal name. OV validates an organization — the signature shows your company name. For business document workflows where the signer is the company (not a specific person), OV is the right choice.
What does "Adobe-trusted" mean?
SSL.com's certificate roots are on the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL). This means signatures from OV Document Signing certificates display as trusted in Adobe Reader without any manual configuration by the recipient.
Can I sign Word and Excel files as well as PDFs?
Yes — OV Document Signing works with PDFs in Adobe, and with Microsoft Word and Excel using their built-in digital signature feature.
How long does issuance take?
1–3 business days, including organization identity validation.
When should I choose IV+OV instead?
If you need both personal identity AND company identity in every signature — for high-stakes documents where both who signed and which company they represent must be provable — choose IV+OV Document Signing instead.
