Extended Validation (EV) certificates provide, along with the strong encryption, the best Identity Assurance available. Before any EV SSL certificate can be issued, the Certification Authority must independently obtain and validate information about the organization that requires the certificate, including verification of the physical address and registered business identity.
Please quote the CA order ID in all correspondence regarding the company verification. This ID can be found on the Certificate Details page in your Namecheap account Dashboard.
All the Extended Validation certificates are available only for registered Companies and Organizations. To pass the validation process for the certificates of this type of validation, the company name should be listed in an official government database as well as in a third-party database (such as DUN & Bradstreet, hoovers.com) which verifies the operational existence of a company.
