a. Ensure that your organization is registered with a government agency. The Certificate Authority will ask you to submit legal documents that apply to your organization such as:

  • Company: Deed of Company Establishment, SIUP, Company Registration Certificate.
  • Government Institutions: Ministerial decrees, official decrees.

IMPORTAT: Make sure the name of the organization you register matches that on your legal document or organization permit. This is done to avoid the possibility of the Certificate requiring additional verification which could slow down the verification process for your organization.

b. Name The organization must use a name that corresponds to the name listed on the legal documents of the company or organizational institution.

c. Trademarks, Product Names and names such as “Collaboration partners” will not be accepted by the Certificate Authority.

2. Domain Authentication

a. For information and addresses listed on the whois register domain, please use the name that matches the name on your organization’s legal documents.
b. If the above is possible, one of the following could be an alternative:

  • Confirm domain ownership email (Domain Rights Confirmation email), the Certificate Authority will send an email confirming domain ownership to the email contained in whois.
  • Company Certificate (Professional Opinion Letter), complete and send the Professional Opinion Letter document which has been completed and signed by the Legal department (Lawyer, Notary) and the public accountant.
  • Short demo (Practical Demonstration), the Certificate Authority will contact the organization’s contact information and ask customers to post a code provided by the Certificate Authority on your website page. Once the Certificate Authority can see the code on your website, then the validation process for your domain has been approved.
