Verification itself is really the slow down for the certs acquisition process.
There is a difference between the two verifications: D&B actually calls the organization to verify the contacts' employment with the company in question. This can add time onto the verification process if they don't reach the person etc etc. Geotrust on the other hand, does not call the contacts, just verifies that the different records (whois, proof of organization, and certificate order) are the same. The only time calls are made is if the information does not match. This includes international records. Take a look at this link for verification process and guidelines. http://www.geotrust.com/true_businessid/order/index.htm Hope that helps.
