# 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
