_globalsign-domain-verification is a TXT DNS record used by GlobalSign, a Certificate Authority (CA), to verify domain ownership before issuing SSL/TLS certificates.
When you apply for an SSL certificate from GlobalSign, they may ask you to add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings to prove that you own the domain.
GlobalSign, like other CAs, follows strict validation procedures to issue SSL certificates securely. Domain Control Validation (DCV) is one method to confirm that the applicant has control over the domain.
Adding a DNS TXT record is one of the easiest and most automated ways to complete this verification.
To complete the verification, you must add a TXT record in your domain's DNS settings.
When applying for an SSL certificate, GlobalSign will provide you with a unique verification value, such as:
_globalsign-domain-verification=abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890
Save this value for the next step.
The process depends on your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, AWS Route 53, etc.).
_globalsign-domain-verificationabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890 (Your provided verification code)_globalsign-domain-verificationabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890_globalsign-domain-verificationabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890After adding the record, it may take a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate across the internet.
Use an online tool like:
Enter your domain and check if _globalsign-domain-verification appears in the results.
If you prefer using the command line, run:
nslookup -type=TXT _globalsign-domain-verification.yourdomain.com
or
dig TXT _globalsign-domain-verification.yourdomain.com
If the correct value appears, the record is set up correctly.
Once the TXT record is added and verified, GlobalSign will automatically detect it, and the SSL certificate issuance process will continue. If verification does not complete within 24 hours, contact GlobalSign support.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| TXT record not found | Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours) or check if the record was entered correctly. |
| Incorrect verification value | Ensure the exact value provided by GlobalSign is used. |
| Domain typo in verification | Double-check the domain name where the record is added. |
| Using a CDN like Cloudflare | If using Cloudflare, disable "Proxy" mode (?? Orange Cloud) and use "DNS Only" mode. |
