Multi-Year HTTPS Certificates

Publicly trusted HTTPS certificates must comply with the maximum validity allowed when they are issued. Purchasing a multi-year certificate plan does not allow a single certificate to remain valid for the entire plan.

See Changes to Maximum Certificate Validity for the current industry limits and certificate authority differences.

Customers can purchase certificate plans for up to 6 years. During the plan period you can reissue the certificate as many times as required. Each certificate expires at the applicable CA validity limit or the order expiry date, whichever is sooner.

Because the Order Expiry and Certificate Expiry may be different, orders display both dates. You can reissue your certificate free of charge as many times as required until the Order Expiry date. Reissue and install a replacement before each certificate expires to maintain coverage throughout your plan.

Check out our guide on how to reissue a certificate.

To purchase a multi-year certificate plan, select the relevant option from the checkout pages or from within your account.
