Reissue HTTPS Certificates

There are a number of reasons you may need to reissue your certificate. This could be because the certificate has expired but the order is still valid (this applies to multi-year certificates) or because you have lost your certificate, need to move servers or had a problem with the original installation.

You can reissue a certificate as many times as required up to the Order Expiration date. Each reissued certificate expires at the applicable CA validity limit at the time of issuance or the Order Expiration date, whichever is sooner. See Changes to Maximum Certificate Validity for the current limits.

Reissues are available via the order management page. Simply Log in to your account and locate your orders under the "Review your orders" section.

Once on the order management page simply click the Reissue Certificate button.

As part of the reissue you will need to complete the domain validation process again.

You will then also have to install the newly generated certificate on your server. The expiry date is hard coded into the certificate and it is not possible to simply extend an existing certificate.

You can revisit the order management page at any time to check on the status of your reissue. However please note it can take a few minutes for changes in order status to be reflected in our systems.
