Answer

The issuance speed for SwissSign certificates depends on the certificate type and reaches from a few seconds up to 10 business days for certificates, which require an intensive manual verification of the requester, of the organization or of the domain. These deadlines are valid after reception of the registration documents by SwissSign and can be held under the exclusive condition that all documents are correct and complete.

An exception are those certificates with automated issuance, which do not require submission of documents (eg. domain-validated-only SSL). These certificates are usually issued immediately.

Issuance speed for SSL Certificates:

SSL Silver: a few seconds or minutes
SSL Silver Wildcard: up to 2 business days
SSL Gold: up to 2 business days
SSL Gold Wildcard: up to 2 business days
SSL Gold EV (Extended Validation): 5 to 10 business days

Issuance speed for Personal Certificates:

Personal Silver ID: up to 2 business days
Personal Gold ID: up to 2 business days
Organization Gold ID: up to 2 business days

Issuance speed for Organization Certificates:

PostCertificate for Organizations: 5 to 10 business days (except hardware delivery outside Switzerland)
SwissSign Certificate for Organizations: 5 to 10 business days

These deadlines are standard values and may be subject to extraordinary exceptions (eg. important workload of the registration authority). In addition, processing time for countries, in which SwissSign has not yet issued certificates, may exceed the indicated deadlines.
