Revoke a single certificate on an order
Revoke one certificate on an order while keeping the order active so you can continue reissuing certificates on the order.
Before you begin
You need the serial number of the certificate you want to revoke. Locate the serial number on the Certificate history tab of the order.
Confirm that the certificate being revoked has been replaced before submitting the revocation request.
If revoking due to private key compromise, consider submitting a request to DigiCert's Certificate Problem Reporting page to revoke any valid DigiCert-issued certificates linked to the compromised key.

Notice
Administrators can revoke a single certificate without additional administrator approval. Under Do you want to revoke without additional admin approval, select Revoke this certificate immediately to bypass the approval step.
Revoking individual certificates on an order while keeping the order active allows you to continue reissuing certificates on the same order without losing the remaining order validity.
After submission, the revocation request remains pending until an administrator approves it. DigiCert revokes the selected certificate after the revocation request is approved.
