requirements for (Extended Validation) EV SSL certificate?

Ahoi brothers,


Does anyone have any experience with 'Extended Validation SSL certificate (the green bar one)', and what are the requirements?

Extended validation is top of the line. With extended validation, the certifying authority conducts a very in-depth examination of your business before issuing the certificate. This type of SSL provides the highest degree of security and user trust.

You obviously need to provide your company registration papers but what else do they look at before issuing a certificate?

Found this checklist for some of the requirements: https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Default/Knowledgebase/Article/View/702/28/

They'll walk you through it; however here is a little thing they need.

They need you to get listed in public directories
They need to speak to someone who is an employee of the company
They need to check your ID, passport, SSN anything
They check your office / home / mobile number
Letter sent to office
Letter sent to home
proof of registration status.

It's a complete asshole to do, but really nice when it's done..

You need dedicated IP too and some legal documents for your identity.
A license would do
