Issuing 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 | Review Timeout Description |
|---|---|---|
| EV | The CA manually reviews the information. If the information is valid, the review takes 7 to 10 working days. | If the certificate is not issued within 30 calendar days, it means the review has failed. |
| OV | The CA manually reviews the information. If the information is valid, the review takes 3 to 5 working days. | If the certificate is not issued within 30 calendar days, it means the review has failed. |
| DV | No manual review is required. The CA system automatically checks domain name ownership. The certificate can be issued within several hours if the CA validates your ownership. You need to ensure that your DNS configurations are valid. | If the certificate is not issued within two calendar days, it means the review has failed. |
Follow-up Procedure
After the CA approves the certificate, it issues the certificate. The certificate takes effect immediately after being issued. In this case, the certificate status is Issued.
