The types of SSL certificates that require documentation are the Extended Validation and the Organisational Validation SSL certificate. 


To validate these certificates, you are required to provide the following:

  • Certificate of Incorporation CAC

  • Memorandum and articles of association

  • Government issued ID of the applicant (international passport or driver’s license only, front and rear view).

  • A formal letter from the company (using the company's letter headed paper) stating that the applicant is authorized to acquire EV/OV SSL certificate on behalf of the company - this is required when the applicant is NOT one of the directors.

  • The Authorization letter should include the purpose of the Business verification and the subject should include that as well

  • An alternative is for the applicant to provide a letter of employment from the company.

  • A page on the site that shows the position of the Director who signed the letter.

  • In the absence of this, an online media report or LinkedIn profile of the person who signed can be accepted.
