Firstly, CA sends an email to the 5 listed emails such as admin@yourdomain.com, administrator@yourdomain.com, hostmaster@yourdomain.com, postmaster@yourdomain.com, & webmaster@yourdomain.com, or by adding a DNS record to the domain. Once the CA (Certificate Authority) confirms the domain ownership, the DV Wildcard SSL certificate is issued instantly.
