Here in the UK there is another problem with EV certs, there is no way of registering a "trading name" or "doing business as (DBA) name" against a company so you can only have an EV cert issues against your actual registered business name. If that is different from your trading name and what you use as your domain name then they are less than worthless. For example, if the company is "Widgets of London Limited" but trade online as "Widgets Online" with the domain "widgetsonline.com" they cant get an EV cert with "Widgets Online" as the name - even if they own the registered trademark of it.

- nailer 9y agoYou're confusing QGIS (the government source) and QIIS (the independent source) - the OP is correct, you'll need a government registered entry for the DBA and these don't exist in the UK. Visit https://certsimple.com https://certsimple.com from the UK and you'll even see the UI change to remove the DBA option. Trademarks aren't the same thing as DBAs, but a number of folks would like to get the EV guidelines extended to include trademarks.
