Order an EV SSL Certificate from Comodo

The process for obtaining EV-SSL certificates involves a little more work than obtaining ordinary SSL certficates.

Read on to make the process as quick and easy as possible. If this is not your first EV certificate request, you may omit step 5 (documentation) unless: it has been more than 12 months since your previous subscriber agreement and legal opinion was submitted; or the certificate is for a domain not covered by these documents. In either of these cases you should regard this order as a first-time order and complete all steps.

Remember that EV SSL Certificates incur an additional charge. You will be invoiced for these separately.

1. Make sure the primary domain is already pre-approved in the CSM.
2. Generate the CSR on the web hosting server.
3. Order the EV-SSL from the CSM, selecting the correct EV-SSL type
4. Take a note of the order number which is generated within the CSM - this should be attached to the documents that you will submit as part of this process.
5. Complete and sign:

EV SSL Certificate Subscriber Agreement. (Note this is still necessary despite agreeing to the EV SSL subscriber agreement within the CSM.) https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=69&nav=0,18

AND

6. Complete and sign:

OR

7. Scan and email the forms to evdocs@comodo.com, or fax to: 1-866-446-7704. Remember to include the EV SSL order number mentioned in step 4.
8. If Comodo has sufficient information, it will commence verification. If not, it will ask for further information via the email. Note that verification includes verifying the organisation's identity, and domain ownership and/or control using the established DCV procedures.

Expect EV-SSL issuance within 2 weeks. Check your EV-SSL certificate status regularly in the CSM. You should be contacted via email.
