Timeline and Documentation Requirements

The EV validation process typically takes 1-2 weeks, though it can extend longer for complex organizational structures or international businesses. This timeline assumes organizations can quickly provide required documentation and respond to verification requests. Organizations should plan EV certificate procurement well in advance of need, particularly for critical launches or compliance deadlines.

Documentation requirements for EV certificates are extensive and non-negotiable. Organizations must provide government-issued incorporation documents, proof of operational history (typically three years), verified physical address documentation, tax registration numbers or employer identification numbers, bank account verification, and a legal opinion letter or accountant letter in some cases. Having these documents prepared in advance significantly streamlines the validation process.
