Filling Out the Information for the Requester, Contract Signer, and Contract Approver for an EV Certificate Order

  1. You will be asked to fill in the names, email addresses, and contact numbers for 3 entities involving your EV certificate order:
  1. Contract Signer – This person has express authority to represent the Applicant, and who has authority on behalf of the Applicant to sign Subscriber Agreements. This must be an Officer of the Organization, such as CEO, President, Corporate Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President, COO, CIO, CFO, CSO, Managing Member, Director, or Department Head, etc. The Contract Signer will be considered to hold all roles, but you may also add other individuals to specific roles.
  2. Certificate Requester – This Person completes and submits an EV Certificate Request on behalf of the Applicant.

If the Certificate Requester is the same as the Contract Signer, check the box beside Same as Contract Signer.

c. Contract Approver – This individual has the authority and responsibility to approve all EV Certificate Requests submitted on behalf of the organization.

If the Certificate Approver is the same as the Contract Signer, check the box beside Same as Contract Signer.

If there are multiple certificate requesters and approvers, click the Add Certificate Requester and Add Certificate Approver button and then fill out their information.

2. Once all information has been finalized, click the Next >> button. If the Contract Signer and Contact Approver do not yet have SSL.com accounts, they will be sent emails allowing them to create accounts and pass AI Identity verification through Jumio in order to approve/sign the required documents.  

Identity Verification for New SSL.com Accounts

For Contract Signers and Contract Approvers who do not have existing SSL.com accounts, they will be sent email messages allowing them to create accounts and then have these verified through Jumio. The instructions are detailed below.

Creating an SSL.com Account

  1. Open the email containing the link which allows you to create an SSL.com account.
  2. You will be directed to a page allowing you to create the password for your account. Check that your password follows the minimum requirements and make sure to save it in a secure location. Re-type your password in the Password again field. Check the box beside the statement that asks your agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of the SSL.com Subscriber Agreement. Finally, click the Submit button.
  3. You will then be logged in to your newly-created SSL.com account and a message will show indicating that your account has been successfully activated.

Center your ID, make sure all details are clear and click the button for capturing the image. Afterwards, click the Confirm button. Jumio will inform you if the image is blurry or unacceptable in which case, click the Try again button to recapture the image.
  10. After requiring photo/s of your ID, Jumio will then prompt you to take a picture of your face. Make sure that the contours of your face are captured in the frame. Jumio will analyze the biometric data and check the image quality. If it is acceptable for processing, the verification result will be sent to your desktop, on the browser page where you first opened Jumio.
  11. Go back to the verification page on your desktop browser. There, Jumio will provide a notification if the page can now be closed.
  12. Upon completion of the Jumio identity verification, SSL.com will then analyze the data.

When SSL.com issues the approval, an email will be sent to the user with a link that allows him/her to finalize the first and last name that will be associated with the SSL.com account.
  13. Upon completion of the cross-approval by the user, SSL.com will send an email confirming the successful identity verification.
