   Table 1 Parameters

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Adding an additional domain name	Additional domain names to be added	domain03.com domain04.com
   Email Address	Enter a correct email address. After the certificate is submitted for review, notifications about certificate issuing will be sent to this email address. Please check it in time.

6. Click OK.

   After you submit the request for adding additional domain names, the SSL certificate management page is displayed, and the certificate status changes to CA verifying (domain name addition).

Follow-up Procedure

After the certificate approval request is submitted, the CA sends a domain name verification email to your email address. You need to verify the domain name as required. Your certificate will remain in the CA verifying (domain name addition) state and will not be approved if you do not complete the domain name verification. Upon receiving your request, the CA will review your request and send a verification email. Reply to the CA immediately after receiving the verification email. If you fail to complete the verification timely, it takes longer to receive your certificates.

Domain name verification is required if you want to add an additional domain name. The certificate can be issued after the domain name is verified and approved by the CA.

For details, see Verifying Domain Name Ownership.
