   Perform operations based on the certificate status. The following are examples of some important operations:

   • Pending application: You have not submitted the certificate application to the corresponding CA. You need to submit it manually. For details, see Submitting an SSL Certificate Application to the CA.
   • Pending domain name verification: You have submitted the certificate application to the CA but have not completed domain name ownership verification. You need to validate domain name ownership as instructed by the CA. For details, see Verifying Domain Name Ownership.
   • Pending organization verification: For an OV or EV certificate, the CA will further validate your organization identity after domain name ownership verification. For more details, see Verifying the Organization (OV and EV).
   • To be issued: You have completed operations, such as domain name ownership verification and organization verification. The CA will issue the certificate after it has validated your verification, which takes some while.

   After all information is verified, the certificate status changes to Issued.
