When you first purchase an Extended Validation certificate, you will be contacted by GlobalSign directly. The entire authorisation and set up process generally takes around 6 weeks. GlobalSign will need to be able to verify the following: - The Certificate Approver's identity, title, and employment through an independent source. - That the Certificate Approver is authorized to obtain and approve EV certificates on behalf of the Organization. This can be verified through one of the following methods: o A Lawyer's Opinion Letter o A Corporate Resolution o Directly contacting the CEO, COO, or similar executive at the organization and confirming the authority of the organizational contact. GlobalSign must contact the Certificate Approver using an independently-verified telephone number. During this verification call, GlobalSign must verify the following: - The name of the Certificate Requester identified in the certificate request and his or her authority to obtain the Extended Validation certificate on behalf of the organization. - Knowledge of the company's ownership and right to use the domain identified in the certificate request. - Approval of the Extended Validation SSL Certificate request. - Acknowledgement of signature of GlobalSign SSL Certificate Subscriber Agreement that includes all Extended Validation terms and conditions.
