Interim DV Certificate

Action 7 - Interim DV Certificate (EV SSL Certificate UCC Only)

ℹ INFO Product Difference - Action 7 is unique to EV SSL Certificate UCC This action does NOT appear for the standard EV SSL Certificate.

No action is required from you. Once all domain verifications (Action 6) are complete, the system automatically processes and issues the Interim DV Certificate. Monitor this step's status in the portal. It will move from "Issuance Pending" to "Completed" automatically.

An Interim Domain Validated (DV) Certificate is a temporary, basic certificate issued once domain verification is complete, before the full EV organization validation is finalized. It provides DV-level HTTPS coverage for your domains while the CA completes the Extended Validation checks (organization verification, approver confirmation, etc.).

What happens next:

• Once the Interim DV Certificate is issued, you may optionally install it on your server for immediate basic HTTPS coverage.

• The full EV Certificate (Action 8) will be issued after all remaining EV-specific verifications are approved.

• When the full EV Certificate is issued, replace the Interim DV Certificate on your server with the EV certificate.

⚠ IMPORTANT The Interim DV Certificate is NOT the final EV Certificate. Do not consider your EV order complete until the full EV Certificate (Action 8) is issued. The EV Certificate provides the highest browser trust indicators. The Interim DV Certificate does not. Replace the Interim DV Certificate with the full EV Certificate promptly once it is issued.
