Automate domain validation and reuse

Important

As of February 24, 2026, the domain validation reuse period is limited to 199 days. Learn more about Domain validation requirements and reuse periods.

Automation features in CertCentral help maintain valid domain control validation status so certificate issuance, renewal, and replacement proceed without manual validation steps.

Automated validation workflows can perform the following tasks:

  • Maintain valid domain control validation (DCV) status within the reuse period

  • Periodically check validation records artifacts such as DNS records and HTTP validation files

  • Use DNS integrations to complete validation automatically and maintain continuous reuse
