• • Choose the Organization
  • Choose the certificate Type – EV Anchor Certificate
  • Choose Term Length 1 Year
  • Enter the Common Name (this can be any domain you need an EV cert for)
  • In the SAN list enter all domains that you will need The EV Anchor to secure.
  • Server Software does not matter in this case
    
    Note regarding domains: Please DO NOT include sub-domains in this certificate unless you are only authorized to order EV certificates for a particular sub-domain.  The requirements for EV Enterprise RA laid out by the CA/B Forum allow unfettered issuance only of certificates at 3^rd and higher domain levels from a fully validated, active EV SSL certificate.  For example: Including example.com will allow you to obtain EV certs for sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com or sub1.sub2.sub3.example.com, BUT including www.example.com will only allow sub1.www.example.com, etc. Do not include any wildcards, only root domains.

Submit a ticket to Comodo ccmvalidation@comodo.com and request an EV anchor certificate be set for your account and provide the order number. Please note the validation team may contact you with a request for additional information to verify ownership and company identity. Turnaround time for this request is dependent upon completion of this paperwork.

The EV anchor will be valid for approximately 13 months. DCV expiration notifications will be sent out for this certificate just like any other certificate from CCM. The certificate can be renewed in CCM or another certificate ordered. However, the validation team is to be contacted with the new order number (a renewal will generate a new order number) and request to make it an anchor certificate.

Please Note:

The primary organizational details will be set to match the details validated in the anchor cert order.  IF those details are changed it will require a new anchor certificate to be created and then validated.

*The departments under the primary organization will NOT be allowed to have different details except for the Department Name. The street address, city, state, postal code, and country will become uneditable.

For additional questions/concerns, please contact validation which can be reached Monday thru Friday 7 AM to 5 PM at 888-256-2608 Option #2. (Option #3 will bring you to technical support for CCM process/procedure questions)

Please include the order number on the document, on a cover sheet, or in the accompanying email message. If, later, you need to add a domain not included in your original Legal Opinion Letter, you can re-use the letter (provided it is for the same organization), but please include the new order number.

EV Certificate Request Form

If you have multiple domain names, list them all on this form. There are two different forms; choose the form that fits your situation:

• If one person is able to assume all three roles of Requester, Approver, and Contract Signer, use the simplified version of the Request Form.
• Otherwise use the full version of the Request Form.

You can use one Certificate Request Form for multiple orders submitted at the same time. Otherwise, each order requires its own Certificate Request Form.
