Step 3 - Organization Information

This step links your certificate order to a legally verified organization. The CA will validate your organization's details before issuing the certificate.

Instant Issuance - Pre-validated Organizations

If your organization has been previously validated by the CA, you will see an 'Instant' badge next to it and a green notice: 'You have 1 validated organization(s) - Instant issuance available.'

Selecting a pre-validated organization skips the organization re-validation wait, significantly speeding up certificate issuance.

New organizations require validation, which typically takes 1-3 business days.

Selecting Your Organization

The screen shows a list of your account's organizations. Use the tabs to filter: All, Validated, or Pending. Click the row of your organization to select it. The fields below will auto-populate.

Organization selector: A searchable list of organizations linked to your CERTInext account. Each entry shows the organization name, ID number, location, and validation status. Click on your organization's row to select it. If you have only one organization, it will appear pre-selected.

+ Add a new organization: Button to register an organization that is not yet in the system. Click only if your organization does not appear in the list. New organizations must complete a validation process (1-3 business days) before certificates can be issued. Fill in all required details carefully - they must match official legal records.

Organization Name (*): The full legal name of your organization. Automatically filled from the selected organization. Verify it matches your official registration exactly.

Organization Unit: The department or division within the organization (optional). Leave blank if not applicable, or enter a relevant department name (e.g., 'IT Security', 'Operations').

Street Address 1 (*): The first line of the organization's registered street address. Automatically filled. Verify accuracy.

Street Address 2: Second address line (optional, e.g., Suite or Floor number). Fill in if applicable.

Country (*): The country where the organization is registered. Automatically filled from the validated organization record.

State / Province (*): The state or province of the organization's address. Automatically filled. Select from dropdown if required.

Note - Organization Details Accuracy

The organization details entered here must exactly match the information on official government or business registration documents (e.g., company registration certificate, articles of incorporation).

The CA will verify these details during the validation process.

Discrepancies will cause delays or rejection of your application.
