Q: What is needed to validate an organisation?

The rules for validation are set by the CA/B Forum.   The rules are as follows:

If the Subject Identity Information is to include the name or address of an organization, the CA SHALL verify the identity and address of the organization and that the address is the Applicant’s address of existence or operation. The CA SHALL verify the identity and address of the Applicant using documentation provided by, or through communication with, at least one of the following: 

  1. A government agency in the jurisdiction of the Applicant’s legal creation, existence, or recognition;
  2. A third party database that is periodically updated and considered a Reliable Data Source;
  3. A site visit by the CA or a third party who is acting as an agent for the CA; or
  4. An Attestation Letter.

  3. A site visit by the CA or a third party who is acting as an agent for the CA; or
  4. An Attestation Letter.

The CA MAY use the same documentation or communication described in 1 through 4 above to verify both the Applicant’s identity and address. Alternatively, the CA MAY verify the address of the Applicant (but not the identity of the Applicant) using a utility bill, bank statement, credit card statement, government-issued tax document, or other form of identification that the CA determines to be reliable.

For S/MIME certificates, the CA/B forum requires:

  1. Formal name of the Legal Entity;
  2. A registered Assumed Name for the Legal Entity (if included in the Subject);
  3. An organizational unit of the Legal Entity (if included in the Subject);
  4. An address of the Legal Entity (if included in the Subject);
  5. Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Registration of the Legal Entity; and
  6. Unique identifier and type of identifier for the Legal Entity.
