When you apply for an organization validated (OV) or extended validation (EV) certificate, the certificate authority (CA) verifies your organization's identity. A company profile stores your organization's details -- legal name, phone number, address, and other information -- so you can reuse them across multiple certificate applications without re-entering the same data.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
Access to the Certificate Management Service console
Accurate company details that match your official business registration records
Create a company profile
Enter company information that is true and valid. The CA examines this information when validating your certificate application.
You can create a company profile in two ways:
From the Company Profile Management page -- Create a profile in advance so it is ready when you submit a certificate application. The following steps use this method.
During a certificate application -- Select Create Company Profile from the Company drop-down list on the application form. The system saves the profile automatically for future use.
To create a company profile from the Company Profile Management page:
Log on to the Certificate Management Service console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Comprehensive Management > Company Profile Management.
On the Company Profile Management page, click Create Company Profile.
In the Create Company Profile dialog box, configure the following parameters, and then click OK.
Parameter Description Company Name The legal name of the company that owns the domain name bound to your certificate. Enter the name exactly as it appears in your business license. For OV certificates bound to a .govdomain, the registrant contact information in the Whois database must match this name.Department The department applying for the certificate. Company Phone The landline number of the company. Do not enter a personal mobile phone number. Organization Code The organization code or unified social credit code. For companies outside the Chinese mainland, add the country code before the organization code. Company Region The region and street where the company is located. Detailed Address The full street address as specified in your business license. Postal Code The postal code of the company.
After the profile is created, it appears on the Company Profile Management page. Confirm that the details are correct before using the profile in a certificate application.
