Private Key Is Provided Separately When You Buy Comodo EV Code Signing Certificate

Steps Required to Complete Comodo EV Code Signing Validation Process

• Fill Enrollment Form – After you make the payment, you get an email from the certificate authority that includes the enrollment form. And, you're required to fill in all the information and send it back to the (CA) certificate authority.
• Authentication of Your Company – Certificate authority verifies whether your organization is active and registered in the location you mentioned.
• For How Long Company Is Operational – This step checks whether the company has been working for more than three years or not. It's similar to the above step of authenticating your company. Likewise, the certificate authority also verifies if the company details match the Online Government Data and display the company's incorporation date.
• Verifying Physical Location – Certificate authority like Comodo asks to prove your company is presently in an active condition and registered with a physical presence within the country or state. Likewise, the certificate authority goes through the Online Government Database of your state, country, or local municipality. Finally, it verifies whether it matches precisely with the information provided in an enrollment form.
• Verification of Telephone Number – The CA verifies your publicly listed telephone number with reputed and acceptable Telephone Directories along with a verified name of your business and corporate identifiers such as LLC, Inc and a physical address.
• Verification of Employment – The CA goes through an Online Government Database to find the executive's name or the person provided in an enrollment form. Otherwise, the CA contacts your company's HR and makes sure that the applicant who applied for the Comodo EV Code Signing certificate is a full-time employee.
• Final Call for Verification Before Issuance – Once the above steps are cleared, the certificate authority makes one final call for verification to the person applying for an EV Code Signing certificate. Likewise, the CA asks simple questions, and once it's completed, your EV Code Signing certificate gets issued.
