   • You will be asked to provide certain documents for Site Seal to be validated and issued. (See Validation for Business Orders or Validation for Individual Orders for required documentation)

     Note: We cannot begin the validation process until you provide all information required. Once we have received all required documents, the validation process will take 2 to 4 business days to complete. We cannot issue your Site Seal until the validation process is completed.
