==2. Organization Validation (OV)==

'''Step 1''' – Verify Identity and Address - This can be acquired using the following online resources:

'''A.''' If the Applicant is an Organization (corporation, government agency, registered business entity, etc.), Comodo must verify its Identity through one of the following (these may also be used to verify address if it's included):

* A government agency in the jurisdiction of the Applicant’s legal creation, existence, or recognition

* A third party database that is periodically updated and considered a Reliable Data Source (see QIIS below)

* A site visit by the CA or a third party who is acting as an agent for the CA; or

* An Attestation Letter

QIIS (Qualified Independent Information Source):

http://www.whitepages.com/

http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ (United Kingdom)

http://world.192.com/ (International)

Comodo may use the following to verify the address provided that identity has been verified as required above:

* Articles of Incorporation (with address)

* Government Issued Business License (with address)

* Copy of a recent company bank statement (you may blacken out the Account Number)

* Copy of a recent company phone bill

* Copy of a recent major utility bill of the company (i.e. power bill, water bill, etc.) or current lease agreement for the company

'''B.''' If the Applicant is an Individual, Comodo must obtain all of the following:

* Copy of a valid driver's license or passport of the Applicant

* Copy of a recent (within the last 6 months) major utility bill (i.e. power bill, water bill, etc.) or bank statement of the Applicant

{{note| Note: If the Driver’s License and Passport is not listing any address details or those details do not match with the account, then we need a copy of a valid driver's license or passport of the Applicant and two documents of recent major utility bill (i.e. power bill, water bill, etc.) and/or bank statement of the Applicant.}}

'''Step 2''' – WHOIS Verification (Registrant company name and address)

'''Step 3''' – DV (Domain Validation)

'''Step 4''' – Callback to a Verified Telephone Number (to verify applicant)

The phone number must be verified via one of the following:

* Government database (QGIS)

* Other third party database (QIIS)

* Verified legal opinion or accountant letter

Once the phone number is verified, Comodo Validation Staff will call the Applicant to verify the authenticity of the certificate request. Following successful completion of the elements above the certificate will be signed and released by Comodo.
