To clarify for people who've never bought one, an EV SSL cert actually involves work by humans at the CA. They do things like obtain copies of your state/provincial corporate registration, business license, LLC registration, local business license, etc. Then the do basic matching that your physical business address of record matches with what your state's Secretary of State has on file for your corporation. It's about a half hour process on the part of the CA of verifying the existence of a real business entity.
