Unlike other SSL certificates, Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates provide a prominent visual indicator that visitors can immediately recognize.
Sites secured with an EV certificate display a green address bar, showing visitors that your organization's credentials have been authenticated according to a stringent, standardized vetting process.
Additionally, EV SSL certificates assure visitors that your organization is who it claims to be, and that they are not on a phishing site.
Please note that an Extended Validation SSL takes longer to issue than a standard SSL due to the extra checks involved. The issuing company will contact you or a named representative of your company and may require signed documentation. They will also need to validate your business phone number. The certificate cannot be issued until all these are completed to the satisfaction of the issuing body. If you do need an Extended validation SSL or want to renew an existing certificate please allow extra time for the certificate to be issued.
