Step 1. You
need your own legitimate domain web space (a subdirectory on
geocities won't do)
Step 2. You need a real address. (A box number in Las Vegas
and a hotmail address is not good enough)
Step 3. You
need some proof of being legitmate and not just some crook who
occasionally visits a cyber cafe. To proove the legitimacy of your
business you need these documents:
For a Home Based
Business:
-
You need a copy of a verifyable business
license that has your street address on it. If your company is not
a sole proprietorship you also need a copy of your incorporation
papers.
-
A letter from the president or owner of your
business authorizing that the business gets a Secure Certificate,
and that we can make reasonable checks to verify that the business
is legitimate. This ensures that nobody else gets a certificate
with your good name to use for their unauthorized purposes.
-
A phone number where you can be reached.
For Partnerships and Incorporated businesses you need:
-
Copy of a verifyable business license that
has the street address of your business on it.
-
A copy of your incorporation and or
partnership papers.
-
A letter from the president or owner of your
business authorizing that the business gets a Secure Certificate,
and that we can make reasonable checks to verify that the business
is legitimate. This ensures that nobody else gets a certificate
with your good name to use for their unauthorized purposes.
-
A phone number where you can be reached.
Step 4. Send us
a ticket so we can generate your CSR.
Step 5. Order your SSL certificate and submit your CSR.
Step 6. Fax
these papers to the place you are buying your SSL certificate from.
It takes a few days to complete all the checks. The procedure is
very thorough to ensure that only real and legitimate businesses get
the secure certificate.
Step 7. After
you have obtained your SSL certificate, submit a support ticket and
we will install it for you. |
