Obtaining an EV SSL Certificate typically takes longer than other types of SSL certificates due to the extensive vetting process. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how quickly the organization can provide the necessary documentation and complete the validation steps.

The documents required for EV SSL validation include:

Proof of the organization’s legal existence (e.g., articles of incorporation). Documentation verifying the organization’s physical address. Proof of the organization’s operational status. Verification of the domain ownership. Confirmation of the authority of the individual requesting the certificate (e.g., government-issued ID, a letter of authorization).

EV SSL Certificates are typically valid for a period of 1-2 years. Due to the rigorous validation process, some Certificate Authorities (CAs) may offer shorter validity periods. It’s essential to renew the certificate before it expires to maintain website security and trust.

Most EV SSL Certificates are issued for a single domain or subdomain. However, some CAs offer EV Multi-Domain SSL Certificates, which allow multiple domains to be secured under a single certificate. EV Wildcard SSL Certificates, which secure multiple subdomains under a single domain, are not generally available due to the high validation standards.

If your EV SSL Certificate expires, the visual trust indicators (such as the green address bar and padlock icon) will disappear, and visitors may receive security warnings when trying to access your site. It’s crucial to renew the certificate before it expires to maintain security and trust. Most CAs send renewal reminders well in advance of the expiration date to ensure continuity.
