Notice
As of February 24, 2026, DigiCert stopped issuing public DV, OV, and EV TLS/SSL certificates with a maximum validity greater than 199 days, per new industry requirements. See How the 199-day limit affects reissues, duplicates, and renewals
Your CertCentral account includes Basic SSL and Business SSL certificates. Basic SSL certificates include: Standard SSL, EV SSL, Multi-Domain SSL, EV Multi-Domain, and Wildcard SSL. Business SSL certificates include: Secure Site Pro SSL, Secure Site Pro EV, Secure Site SSL, Secure Site EV SSL, Secure Site Multi-Domain SSL, Secure Site EV Multi-Domain SSL, and Secure Site Wildcard SSL.
Managing your TLS/SSL certificates throughout their lifecycle includes the following tasks:
Order certificates — Request a new Basic or Business SSL certificate from your account.
Complete domain control validation (DCV) — Before DigiCert issues your certificate, demonstrate control over each domain. Supported methods: Email, DNS TXT, DNS CNAME, HTTP Practical Demonstration.
Organization validation — Required for OV and EV certificates. Organizations must be revalidated every 397 days. EV validation is more thorough than OV and includes additional checks.
Access issued certificates — Download or email the certificate from your CertCentral account.
Reissue — Replace an existing certificate with updated information, such as adding a SAN to a multi-domain certificate.
Renew — Renew an expiring certificate order. If domain or organization validation has expired at renewal time, revalidation is required.
Revoke — Revocation is a three-step process: submit request → administrator approves → DigiCert revokes.
What this gives you over the current topic:
Product list for Basic vs Business SSL — currently missing entirely
199-day validity notice — current and accurate
Lifecycle tasks as scannable bullets with context — replaces the 4 vague generic points
OV/EV revalidation cadence note
Basic account limitation note for renewals (no pre-validation support)
When to review certificate-specific enrollment
Some certificate types require additional steps beyond the basic enrollment flow. These include DV certificates, Flex certificates, and specialized certificate types.
