Hi, I’m trying to get a certificate from Sectigo (formerly Comodo) and the verification process requires getting signed documentation from a CPA. Is this normal? Has anyone else been through this process?
thx
I got my Comodo cert through K Software www.ksoftware.net and Mitchell was very helpful and made it easy.
Hi, thx - I’d rather deal with someone in Europe tbh. Did you have to get certified face-to-face validation for yours? thx
No, I just provided some reasonable documentation.

Just done this.
either you set up a Limited Company which gets listed on some 3rd party system such as Dun & Bradstreet, they call the number listed there with an automated system to get validated.
or you have to get some documentation notarised
I went with the 1st option, needed some messing about to get the D&B details updated, and at one point I thought I would have to wait 6 weeks before the data would be available to Sectigo (despite relying on D&B, they don’t pay the subscription fees!)

Funny how Microsoft releases Trusted Signing for a decent price, and suddenly there is an influx of new accounts trying to push old-guard certificate authorities onto plugin devs… Really subtle as well, reviving a 5 year old thread for it…

I don’t know if this forum software supports it, but new accounts should be blocked from necromancing threads, because all these recent* “use this stupidly expensive certificate” posts have been on really old threads.
[*] - apart from 1 example that I’m still convinced was spam even though it was a “relevant” thread that not so old
