What is an EV SSL Certificate?

Extended Validation is the best SSL security and website assurance investment you can make. It's the validation type that provides the maximum level of assurance and consumer confidence that you can obtain from an SSL certificate. Not only do you get powerful encryption, data security, and the ability to protect your users' privacy – this SSL certificate also provides users irrefutable proof of identity through business authentication. It's a premium solution for companies that put the safety & security of their customers at the forefront of their business.

EV SSL certificates offer several important benefits:

People have grown overly cautious on the internet as a result of hackers and cybercrime. That's why being able to establish and showcase your identity, and build trust with consumers, is more critical than ever. Even more so than with the recent flood of low-end free DV SSL certificates in the market now.

It's Anti-Phishing

Extended Validation requires a company to prove its legally registered entity status, and in return, it showcases your company or organization’s name in the certificate details window. A fake phishing site can’t spoof this feature.

How Can I Recognize Extended Validation SSL?

You can see the verified company name when you click the padlock/tune icon and view the certificate details. Visitors can use unmistakable, verified proof of your company's identity to know who they’re dealing with.

Also, EV SSL comes with dynamic site seals that show your verified company name and location when clicked.

  • Boost Trust - Displaying a verified company name in the certificate details assures visitors you are who you say you are.
