A Domain Validation (DV) certificate encrypts traffic between your website and its visitors and turns on the browser padlock and HTTPS. The certificate authority only checks that you control the domain, so it is the quickest certificate to get.
Usually within minutes. You confirm control of the domain, by email, a DNS record or a file on your server, and the certificate is issued automatically.
DV uses the same strength of encryption as OV and EV. It is a good fit for informational sites, blogs and portfolios. If visitors sign in, pay or share sensitive details, consider OV or EV certificates, which also verify your organization.
Just a domain you control and access to its email, DNS or web server so you can complete the validation check. No business paperwork is required.
