What is a DV SSL Certificate?
Domain Validation (DV) certificates are a particular subset of SSL certificates. DV certificates are intended for websites that do not process customer data (such as usernames, passwords, or payment information) in any shape or form.
Compared to EV and OV SSL certificates, DV certificates offer the lowest level of protection and the quickest validation process. The validation process of DV certificates only involves a quick check by email whether you actually own the domain that you requested the certificate for. This means that your DV certificate can be ready for use in just 15 minutes.
Example: If you have a personal website or blog, through which you do not process customer data at all, a DV certificate can be the right choice for you.
