My Seal Did Not Display

The VeriSign Secured Seal should display within 2 hours of installation after your SSL Certificate has been validated. Before contacting VeriSign support, check the most common reasons why the VeriSign Secured Seal did not appear on your page.

Your domain has not been verified.

The VeriSign Secured Seal will not appear on a domain until your SSL Certificate has been approved and issued. Make sure your SSL Certificate had been authenticated and wait at least 24 hours before contacting VeriSign support.

Your common name has not been added to the database.

VeriSign must add your common name to the database the first time the seal is installed. In most cases your seal will be available for display within 2 hours. If this is the first time you’ve installed the seal using this common name, please allow up to 24 hours before contacting VeriSign Support.

The common names don’t match.

The common name must match the common name for the certificate exactly. For example, if the certificate's common name is www.verisign.co.uk, enter the complete common name, including www. If the common name is just verisign.co.uk, do not include www. Do not include http:// or https://.

The pages are on a test server.

The pages with the seal must be within the domain identified by the certificate's common name. Loading the pages on a different site (including a test server with a different domain name) will result in the seal not displaying correctly or other error.

The script was corrupted.

Emailing or opening the script in a word processing application can insert characters and formatting, corrupting the script. Return to the installation page and generate the script again. Copy the code from the seal installation page and paste it directly into your HTML.

Other coding prevents the seal from displaying.

Test the Web page's code to ensure that an image can appear. For example, insert any static GIF image where the seal should display. Open the page to confirm that the image appears.

Contact VeriSign Customer Support
