The sole criterion for a domain validated certificate is proof of control over whois records, DNS records file, email or web hosting account of a domain. Most web browsers may show a lock (often in grey, rather than the green lock typically used for an Extended Validation Certificate) and a DNS domain name. A legal entity is never displayed, as domain validated certificates do not include a legal entity in their subject.[3] Safari shows domain validated certificates with a grey lock. Microsoft Edge displays domain validated certificates with a hollow grey lock. Domain validated certificates are often cheap or free. Most domain validated certificates can be issued instantly.
