Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificates compared
An OV certificate adds your verified organization name and location to the certificate subject. Visitors only see it if they open the certificate details, so buy OV when a policy, a partner or a procurement checklist asks for it.
Validity: since 15 March 2026 a publicly trusted TLS certificate is valid for at most 200 days (100 days from 15 March 2027, 47 days from 15 March 2029). A "1-year" or "multi-year" purchase is a subscription: the certificate is reissued several times during the term. See the validity timeline.
