Did you know that if you required an SSL certificate for your organization, your domain information needs to be public.

When registering a domain name you can have all information related to your organization, assigned personal, address, etc. hidden under the hosting company or register.com.If this is the case, VeriSign will not issue a digital certificate. You need to make the information public, at least till you get it.

VeriSign contacts you in person after placing the request, asks a couple of questions, then forwards you the certificate files.
