Business Identity Authentication
Why is it important for VeriSign to verify my business identity?
How does an online customer know the Main Street Flower Shop is a real business and their information is safe when they place an order? More and more customers look for evidence of encryption and third-party business identity authentication. When VeriSign verifies your information during the enrollment process, we use the information to provide third-party verification that your customers will trust.
How did VeriSign set their validation process?
Our authentication and verification procedures are based on years of practice authenticating commercial businesses. These procedures are audited annually by KPMG using Statement of Auditing Standard 70 Type II, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. VeriSign is a leading Certificate Authority, securing more than 500,000 Web servers, and contributor to the High Assurance standard as a member of the CA/Browser Forum.
What will I need to provide in order for VeriSign to verify my business identity?
When you request an SSL Certificate or a Managed PKI for SSL account, VeriSign must verify the existence of your business, the ownership of your domain name, and your employment status. We may require official government documentation proving your right to do business. These may include:
- Articles of Incorporation
- Certificate of Formation
- Charter Documents
- Business License
- Doing Business As
- Registration of Trade Name
- Partnership Papers
- Fictitious Name Statement
- Vendor/Reseller/Merchant License
- Merchant certificate
If we cannot automatically authenticate your company's management responsibility for the domain name that is associated with the SSL Certificate, we will require an authorization letter from that domain's owner. This step prevents applicants from fraudulently or accidentally obtaining SSL Certificates for inappropriate domains.
What type of documentation does VeriSign require for Extended Validation SSL Certificates?
In addition to the requirements described above, a legal opinion letter may be required to confirm that the requestor has the authority to obtain SSL Certificate(s) on behalf of the company. The legal opinion letter also may be used to confirm the organization registration, organization address, telephone number, domain ownership, and the organization’s business status. The physical address may, alternatively, be confirmed by a physical site visit. Once confirmed, the requestor may be able to purchase additional SSL Certificates based on the original letter. If a legal opinion letter cannot be obtained, our Certification Practice Statement outlines alternate authentication and verification processes.
How long does verification take?
Authentication for new certificates could take as little as 2 hours or up to several days, depending on the verification information you provide. VeriSign guarantees express delivery for VeriSign Secure Site Pro for businesses located in the United States that pay with a valid credit card, have a Dun and Bradstreet DUNS number and a valid domain name as stated in VeriSign’s Certification Practice Statement. The express delivery guarantee does not apply to Secure Site Pro with EV or Secure Site with EV SSL Certificates. Processing times for Extended Validation SSL Certificates may take longer due to additional verification requirements mandated by the Extended Validation SSL Standard.
Which VeriSign SSL products and services require business identity verification?
All VeriSign SSL services require business identity authentication. With Managed PKI for SSL services, once administrators are enrolled they become the Certificate Authority for their organization. They authenticate the identity of internal certificate applications and offer instant issuance of SSL Certificates. If Managed PKI for SSL will be used to purchase Extended Validation SSL Certificates, the customer must go through additional steps to qualify to request Extended Validation SSL Certificates. Managed PKI for SSL accounts with Extended Validation Certificates will be validated each year.
What measures does VeriSign take to make sure its business identity verification is accurate?
VeriSign uses a rigorous and independently audited authentication process based on more than 10 years of practice. All VeriSign employees involved in the authentication process must pass stringent background checks. Each authentication is handled by multiple individuals. We maintain physically secure facilities, including biometric screening on entry. VeriSign is a leading contributor to the emerging Extended Validation SSL standard. |
