Enrollment and validity options in CertCentral
Annual plans
As of February 24, 2026, DigiCert TLS/SSL certificate plans are one year by default. Learn more about DigiCert annual plans.
This topic covers enrollment and validity options for TLS/SSL certificates.
DigiCert annual plans allow you to pay a single price for one year of TLS/SSL certificate coverage. With an annual plan, you select the certificate you want and the order includes the plan and a certificate valid for the allowed period. When the certificate nears expiration, you reissue it to get a new one that aligns with the plan expiration date.
CertCentral Subscription accounts and Enterprise accounts with subscription contracts do not use annual plans. With Subscriptions, you pay for 12 months of domain protection and can issue as many certificates for your protected domains as you need at no extra cost.
