An Extended Validation (EV) certificate is a type of TLS/SSL certificate that verifies that the certificate holder has undergone the most extensive level of vetting and identity background checks to certify that their website is authentic and legitimate. EV certificates are often required for high-profile brands, banks and other Fortune 500 companies.

Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) TLS/SSL certificates are differentiated by the level of identity checks they require and protect brands against.

EV certificates require the highest number of identity checks by involving all the same checks for DV and OV and adding validation of the organization’s registration number, jurisdiction, operational existence, domain fraud check and blocklist checks.
