What should I do if my company is not the registered owner of the domain?
If your company is not the registered owner of the domain (as verified through a WHOIS lookup), you must get the ownership information changed prior to submitting a certificate application. The information can usually be changed by yourself, using the username and password provided by your Reseller.

How long does it take to get a Web Server Certificate?
From the time you submit your application, the processing time for a Web Server Certificate takes 2 to 3 business days.

How will I know if my application for a Geotrust Web Server Certificate has been successful (or not)?
You will be notified when the verification process is completed. If your application has been accepted, you will receive your certificate via an e-mail sent to the administrative and technical contacts

What can I do if my application is not successful?
If your Web Server Certificate application is rejected, you can work with the Support Team to determine the best way to submit a new application. The main reasons that can lead an application to fail are:

• The domain name in the CSR is not registered to the authorizing business/organization.
• CSR is incorrectly formatted
