Who can purchase an ExtendedSSL certificate?
GlobalSign ExtendedSSL certificates are validated according to a strict set of procedures defined by the CABForum (The CA Browser Forum). For this reason the certificate can only be purchased either directly by the Applicant or by an agent working on behalf of the Applicant. In either situation signatures must be received from both the certificate requestor and the contract signer. Please note that this could be the same person fulfilling both roles. In addition, GlobalSign verifies the certificate approver, i.e. the person with authority to approve the certificate requestor’s right to request certificates on behalf of the applicant.
