# Interim DV Certificate
No action is required from you. *Once all domain verifications (Action 1) 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 OV Certificate will be issued after all remaining OV-specific verifications are approved.*
