Certificate auto-renewal

The certificate auto-renewal feature allows you to manage your certificates by instructing DigiCert to automatically renew your certificate before your current certificate expires.

When certificate auto-renewal is enabled:

  • Your private certificates will auto-renew six hours before the certificate expires.

  • Your public certificates will auto-renew 14 days before the certificate expires because it requires a compliance review before the certificate can be issued.
