Phase 2 Steps (via email & emSign)

After payment, your order enters a multi-step verification and issuance workflow. For EV certificates, the CA must verify your identity, organization, domain ownership, and organizational authority before issuing the certificate. Most steps require action from you or your authorized signatories.

ℹ INFO Two portals are involved 1. CERTInext (certinext.io) - where you placed your order. Use it to track order status. 2. emSign Subscriber Portal - where you and your authorized signatories complete all verification steps. The emSign portal link is sent to you in the order confirmation email and is also accessible via CERTInext > Certificates > Orders > your order > Track Order Status.

Use the sub-pages below to follow each verification step in sequence:

• Order Confirmation - what you see in CERTInext immediately after payment and the confirmation email you receive.

• Order Tracking - how to access and read the emSign Subscriber Portal and its Order Actions.

• Submit CSR - how to submit your CSR if you skipped it during application.
