What documents do I need for Geotrust EV?

Organization Validation certifies, in addition to domain name ownership, additional information about the organization or business that has requested the SSL. This information includes the name of the entity, the city, state and country in which it is headquartered. The issuing authority searches bank or local government sources and databases. In case the details are not confirmed, the payment of documents proving the identity of the applicant and the organization is required.

Of course, the first thing they will check is the electronic confirmation of the existence of your company, on the website  Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

For this reason you will need to confirm that your company actually exists through the Chamber's search, stating the name or distinctive title which should be in English.
