Domain prevalidation: Bulk domain revalidation
Use the bulk domain revalidation feature to submit up to 25 domains simultaneously for revalidation. DigiCert recommends keeping your domains' validation up to date for quicker certificate issuance.
Items to note about domain validation:
Per industry standards, a domain's validation is valid for 397 days (approximately 13 months).
If you order a certificate for a domain while the domain's revalidation is pending, we use the domain's current validation to issue the certificate until that validation has expired.
Submit domains for revalidation
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Domains.
On the Domains page, check the box next to the domains you want to revalidate.
In the Submit domains for revalidation dropdown, select the DCV method you want to use to demonstrate control over the domains.
Revalidation by email
An email recipient follows the instructions in a confirmation email sent for the domain. DigiCert can send three sets of DCV emails: WHOIS-based, constructed, and DNS TXT-based.
Revalidation by DNS CNAME record
Add a DigiCert-generated random value (provided for the domain in your CertCentral account) to the domain’s DNS as a CNAME record. Then, add dcv.digicert.com as the CNAME target.
Revalidation by DNS TXT record
Add a DigiCert generated random value (provided for the domain in your CertCentral account) to the domain’s DNS as a TXT record.
On the Submit domains for revalidation page, review the selected domains and when ready, select Submit domains for validation.
For the DNS CNAME and DNS TXT DCV methods, download a CSV file containing each domain's DigiCert-generated random value.
Under Next steps, select Download CSV and save the file. Then, use this file to add the correct random value to each domain's DNS CNAME or DNS TXT record.
Warning
Download the CSV file now before closing this page. After leaving this page, the only way to get the DigiCert-generated random value for each domain is to open each Domain's details page and copy it.
