i've talked to cibc.com/verisign, the canadian verisign affiliate, and they tell me they can only do certificates for registered businesses.

i'm currently on hold with verisign USA waiting to talk to someone there, but figured i'd punt the question here.

Try Thawte. Although they're owned from Verisign, they have very different processes and policies, and are a little more accomodating.
