In the world of certificates, DV is the simplest and EV is the most complex option. Between them stands OV, meaning Organization Validation, serving as a balanced middle choice. This type of certificate is designed to confirm the official registration of a company and that it is actually operating. For corporate websites, B2B platforms and medium sized e-commerce resources, this is the most commonly chosen option.
What verification does OV certificate require
Unlike DV, obtaining an OV certificate requires submitting company documents. The certificate authority verifies the registration of the legal entity, physical address, phone number and official field of activity. However, unlike EV, a detailed phone conversation is not conducted and document verification is not as deep. Usually the process takes from 1 to 3 business days.
Advantages of OV
The first and most important advantage is that company data is written inside the certificate. When a user clicks on the lock icon and views certificate details, they learn which company owns the site. In a DV certificate, only the domain name is shown. This is an important psychological factor for B2B clients and large corporate customers, increasing trust in the business.
Which sites is it suitable for
For corporate websites, B2B platforms, small and medium sized online stores, regular information sites of government organizations, educational institutions and healthcare centers, the OV certificate is the most suitable option. If the site does not accept payment data but collects personal information from the user, the OV certificate is recommended.
How to choose between OV and DV
The main criteria are business size and site functionality. If the site is simply informational and gets almost no data from the user, the DV option is sufficient. If client communication is conducted through the site, applications are accepted, small payments are made, investing in an OV certificate is appropriate. In this case, B2B clients viewing the site will know that the company actually exists and conducts official business.
