Requesting a Deluxe SSL Certificate
Deluxe SSL secure certificates have an extensive vetting process that starts with an in-depth application. You need to gather some information before beginning, if one of the following applies to you:
- If you are filing as a corporation, we need details about your business, such as registration number, incorporation or registration agent, and any relevant jurisdiction information.
- If you host on a dedicated server or with another provider, have the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from the server where the certificate will be installed. For more information, see Generating a Certificate Signing Request.
NOTE:Allow about 15 minutes to complete the application.
