Smart SeaL
Show visitors your site is verified — with the SSL.com Smart SeaL
The Smart SeaL is a free, clickable trust badge that comes with every SSL.com certificate. Display it on your site to signal that your organization's identity and certificate status have been verified. When clicked, a real-time Site Report opens showing your certificate details, organization information, and optionally the validation documents used to issue your certificate.
A real-time trust signal backed by SSL.com verification
The Smart SeaL is more than a static badge. Clicking it triggers a live Site Report — generated in real time from SSL.com’s systems — that displays your certificate’s current status, the website address, and information about your organization. Only a site with a valid, active SSL.com certificate will generate a genuine Site Report.
The Smart SeaL is free. It is included at no additional cost with every SSL.com certificate.
Key capabilities
Smart SeaL Artifacts
Smart SeaL Artifacts take trust a step further. Where the Site Report shows visitors that SSL.com has validated your organization, Artifacts let visitors see how — by optionally publishing the actual documents submitted during the validation process. You control which pages to publish, or turn the feature off entirely.
