Verify your organization's domain
Add a DNS record to show certificates come from your real domain.
Domain verification is optional. It adds "Organization domain verified" to your certificates and your public issuer page.
- Open Domain and enter your organization's domain.
- Add the TXT record Nyvarra shows you at your domain provider.
- Choose Check DNS record. DNS changes can take a few hours to appear.
What domain verification proves
A DNS challenge demonstrates control of the claimed domain. It is additional issuer evidence, separate from review of the organization and separate from accreditation of its certificates. A logo, a website link or an email address on that domain is not the same thing as completing the challenge.
Give your DNS administrator the exact values
- Open Domain settings for the intended organization and copy the requested TXT record's host and value.
- Ask the person who manages the authoritative DNS zone to add it. Domain registration, website hosting and DNS can be managed in different places.
- Check how that DNS provider expects hostnames: some append the domain automatically, so entering the full name again can produce a duplicated domain.
- Save the DNS change, allow time for it to become visible, then use Check DNS record.
- Confirm the status in Nyvarra and inspect the issuer's public presentation.
If the check cannot find the record
- Verify the record type is TXT and the value exactly matches the current challenge.
- Check that the record was added to the right domain and authoritative zone.
- Check for an accidentally duplicated hostname or a missing prefix.
- Wait for DNS changes to propagate and retry after the provider's stated interval.
- If the challenge was regenerated, remove reliance on the old value and use the one currently shown.
Copy challenge values from your own settings. A value from another organization or an old screenshot cannot establish control for the current request.
