Step 5: Issue an SSL Certificate
Your SSL certificates will be issued after the CA approves your application. The certificate approval time depends on how quickly you respond with requested information from the CA. The CA contacts you through the reserved email address and phone number. Ensure you can be contacted through the information you leave when applying for the certificate.
- For DV certificates, it takes some while for the CA to review your information after the DNS verification succeeds. The certificate will be issued after being approved by the CA.
- For OV and EV certificates, it takes some while for the CA to review your information after the organization verification succeeds. The certificates will be issued after being approved by the CA.
The approval period varies depending on the SSL certificate type. Table 1 describes the approval period of each certificate type.
| Certificate | Approval Period |
|---|---|
| EV | The CA manually reviews the information. If the information is valid, the review takes 7 to 10 working days. |
| OV | The CA manually reviews the information. If the information is valid, the review takes 3 to 5 working days. |
| DV | The CA adapts automatic review. The domain name authorization configuration is automatically checked. If the configuration is correct (you need to ensure the correctness), the certificate can be issued within several hours. |
Procedure
After the CA approves the certificate, it issues the certificate. The certificate takes effect upon issuance.
