In our experience, both of the large CA&#8217;s we work with go about fulfilling this step slightly differently, but here&#8217;s a general summary that should get you through with either one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The validation agent you speak to will ask to speak with a member of <strong>HR<\/strong>, a member of <strong>management<\/strong>, or <strong>any other employee<\/strong> of the company.<\/li>\n<li>They will ask that person to confirm their <strong>name<\/strong>, <strong>title<\/strong>, and <strong>position<\/strong> with the company.<\/li>\n<li>They will then ask that person to confirm that the Certificate Requester works for the company and has the <strong>authority<\/strong> to request a certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may not have to complete this step at all if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The certificate requester (Admin contact)&#8217;s <strong>email address domain<\/strong> as listed on the certificate request matches the <strong>company domain<\/strong> (e.g. &#8211; Kyle@thesslstore.com, matches the company domain TheSSLStore.com)<\/li>\n<li>The Certificate Requester is listed on the company&#8217;s <strong>Dun and Bradstreet<\/strong> report as an employee of the company.<\/li>\n<li>You used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/support\/ov\/ov-ssl-professional-opinion-letter.aspx\">Professional Opinion Letter<\/a> to skip past most of validation, and The Certificate Requester&#8217;s name is mentioned in the Legal Opinion Letter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Possible Issues with Completing the Employment and Authority Check<\/h2>\n<p>Long story short &#8211; as long as you have a buddy on stand by who can vouch for you, this step shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. If they aren&#8217;t available and sitting right next to you to pass the phone to, you can <strong>transfer<\/strong> the call to them, or provide the CA with their <strong>direct line<\/strong> and\/or contact details and the CA will conduct a separate call to complete this step.<\/p>\n<p>After the Verification call, the CA will issue your SSL Certificate.
