If you are only using [Universal SSL](/ssl/edge-certificates/universal-ssl/) prior to converting your zone, a certificate will be provisioned for your subdomains only after each of the respective DNS records ([step 3](#3-add-dns-records) below) are [proxied](/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/proxied-dns-records/). Refer to [Enable Universal SSL](/ssl/edge-certificates/universal-ssl/enable-universal-ssl/#partial-dns-setup) for details.

If your domain is sensitive to downtime, instead of using Universal SSL, consider using an [advanced certificate](/ssl/edge-certificates/advanced-certificate-manager/) with [delegated DCV](/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/methods/delegated-dcv/#setup).

Add the **Verification TXT Record** at your authoritative DNS provider. Cloudflare will verify the TXT record and send a confirmation email. This can take up to a few hours.
If your authoritative DNS provider automatically appends DNS record `name` fields with your domain, make sure to only insert `cloudflare-verify` as the record name. Otherwise, it may result in an incorrect record name, such as `cloudflare-verify.example.com.example.com`.

After creating the record, you can use this [Dig Web Interface link](https://digwebinterface.com/?type=TXT\&ns=auth\&nameservers=) to search (`dig`) for `cloudflare-verify.<YOUR DOMAIN>` and validate if it is working.
