In the majority of organization validation cases the CA will be able to verify this using an Online Government Database. The CA will check the official website in your local municipality, state or country that displays business entity registration status. It goes without saying that the details listed in the government database need to match the details you've provided the CA or else a delay will ensue in the issuance of your certificate.
