Customers who wish to acquire the Comodo Instant SSL Pro must complete a light validation process before the certificate is issued. That's because this is an Organization Validated (OV) certificate. This process usually takes between 3-5 business days. However, once the validation is complete, your site will reap the benefits of the padlock icon in the URL bar, "https" in front of the address, and the dynamic Comodo Secure Site Seal.
