GeoTrust is the second largest SSL certificate vendor in the world. Over 100,000 customers from 150 countries trust GeoTrust for the security of online transactions and online business. A wide range of digital SSL certificates and trusted products allow companies of all sizes to effectively protect online transactions with reasonable implementation costs. World-class GeoTrust SSL certificates are certificates with the possibility of quick issuance, competitive prices, encryption up to 256-bit or a wide range of seals confirming the issuance of a GeoTrust SSL certificate.

At the time of purchasing an SSL certificate, GeoTrust will send an automatic authorization message, in which it will be verified whether the ordering certificate has the rights to manage the domain for which the SSL certificate will be generated. The message will be sent to the administrative contact assigned to the domain. In the event that the automatic verification process is not successfully completed, the verification will be submitted for manual verification. In this case, the issue of the certificate may take up to 24 hours due to the need to contact GeoTrust technical support directly.

In the case of SSL certificates with OV validation, GeoTrust will verify the ownership of the domain for which the SSL certificate will be generated (as is the case with SSL certificates with DV validation) and will also check the registration data of the company for which this SSL certificate will be issued. This increases the security and certainty for visitors to the website secured with the SSL OV certificate issued by GeoTrust.

SSL certificates with EV validation are the highest level of security certified, among others full company data recorded in the certificate. SSL EV certificates are a guarantee of high trust on the part of customers, but also a guarantee of the most stringent authorization procedures to generate such a certificate. The rules related to EV validation impose an obligation on GeoTrust to verify a lot of information about the entity applying for the EV SSL certificate. This information includes domain ownership rights, company data checked in various registers or direct contact with a representative of a company applying for an EV SSL certificate.
