# Phase 2 Steps (via email & emSign)

After payment, your order enters a multi-step verification and issuance workflow. Most steps happen automatically or require brief actions from you via email links. This section explains every stage in sequence.

 

**The Phase 2 steps are:**

Order Confirmation - receive email and view order in CERTInext

Order Tracking - access the emSign Subscriber Portal and review Order Actions

Organization Re-use Consent - provide consent if re-using a validated organization

Subscriber Agreement - confirm agreement for this specific order

Domain Verification - complete Domain Control Validation (DCV) for each domain

Certificate Download - download your issued certificate in the preferred format

Order Fulfilled - certificate active and installed on your server

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.certinext.io/documentation/certificate-lifecycle-management/ordering-a-certificate/as-a-customer/ordering-ov-public-trust-certificates/phase-2-steps-via-email-and-emsign.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
