Complete domain validation
Complete domain control validation from the Order details page for each domain on a pending certificate order.
Before you begin
Select a DCV method for each domain on the order before completing validation.
For detailed steps for each DCV method, see Perform domain control validation (DCV).
For Subscription accounts, domain management is under Validation > Domains rather than Certificates> Domains.
Complete validation from the Order details page
In the CertCentral main menu,
For Enterprise, Partner, and Legacy accounts: go to Certificates > Orders.
For Subscription accounts: go to My Digital Trust Products > Certificates.
Select the order number to open the Order details page.
In the Certificate status section, under What do you need to do, select the domain link.
In the Prove control over domain window, confirm the selected DCV method or select a different method.
Complete validation using the selected method.
DigiCert validates the domain after detecting the required validation artifact or receiving approval from the domain contact. When all domains are validated, DigiCert proceeds with certificate issuance.
If validation fails, update the DNS, email, or HTTP configuration and run the validation check again. The certificate remains pending until domain validation is complete for all domains on the order.
Resend a verification email for DCV
Resend the verification email DCV when a domain contact does not receive the original email or the email expires. DigiCert sends a new authorization email to the selected domain contacts.
In the CertCentral main menu,
For Enterprise, Partner, and Legacy accounts: go to Certificates > Orders.
For Subscription accounts: go to My Digital Trust Products > Certificates.
Select the order number for the certificate.
On the Order details page, under What do you need to do, select the Prove control over domain link.
In the Prove control over domain window, in the Domain control validation (DCV) method menu, select Verification email, then select Save.
In the email language menu, select the language for the confirmation email.
In the authorization email recipient menu, select the email address for the confirmation email.
Select Send email.
DigiCert resends the authorization email from no-reply@digitalcertvalidation.com to the selected domain contacts. The domain is validated when the recipient selects the link in the email and follows the instructions on the domain approval page.
What's next
Revalidate a domain before validation expires to maintain current domain validation status and avoid certificate issuance delays
