STEP 2 - Organization Information

This screen asks you to enter the legal details of the organization that owns the certificate. The information you enter here will appear in the certificate itself, so it must exactly match your organization's official registration documents.

If your organization has already been verified in CERTInext, it will appear at the top of this screen as a pre-verified option. Selecting a pre-verified organization speeds up the issuance process

• If your organization is listed under "pre-verified organizations," click on it to select it and skip filling the fields below.

• If no pre-verified organization is listed, click "+ Add a new organization" and fill in all the fields below.

Fields to fill in (when adding a new organization):

The full legal name of your organization as it appears in your government registration documents.

Enter your organization's exact legal name. Do not use abbreviations unless they are part of the official name (e.g., "ABC Inc." not "ABC").

Organization Unit

A department or division within your organization, such as "IT Department" or "Software Engineering." This field is optional.

Enter the relevant department name, or leave blank if not applicable.

Business Category

A dropdown that identifies the legal type of your organization. Options typically include "Private Organization," "Government Entity," or "Business Entity."

Select the category that best describes your organization's legal structure. Most businesses should select "Private Organization."

The first line of your organization's official registered street address.

Enter the building number and street name (e.g., "123 Main Street"). This must match your official business registration.

An optional second line for your address, such as a suite, floor, or building name.

Enter suite or floor details if applicable, or leave blank.

Country

The country where your organization is legally registered.

Select your country from the dropdown. For US-based organizations, select "United States of America (USA)."

⚠ IMPORTANT NOTE

• All address details must match your official government-registered business address exactly. Any mismatch may cause your application to be delayed or rejected during verification.

• New organizations require validation before certificates can be issued. This typically takes 1-3 business days.

• Do not use a P.O. Box as your primary Street Address 1. Use your physical street address.
