End of life for DigiCert’s legacy Document Signing certificates

DigiCert is deprecating our older Document Signing certificates: Document Signing - Individual (500/2000) and Document Signing – Organization (2000/5000) certificates.

On March 19, 2025, we replaced the legacy document signing products in CertCentral with the new ones. When you renew a legacy document signing certificate in CertCentral, we will redirect you to its replacement certificate.
