On the Orders page, locate the Premium client certificate you need to reissue.
In the Order # column, click Quick View on the certificate you want to reissue.
In the Order details panel, click Reissue Certificate.
On the Reissue Certificate for Order page, under Recipient Details, verify that the information is correct.
Your CSR must include the -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- tags.
In the Signature Hash dropdown, select a signature hash.

Click Request Reissue.
You'll be taken to the certificate’s Manage Order # page where you can see the status of the email address verifications.
Each email address listed in the certificate request is sent an email that contains a link so that the recipient can validate that they own that email address. If the certificate recipient loses a validation email, you can resend it. See How to Resend an Email Validation for DigiCert "Client Certificate" Email.
After all email addresses are validated, an email is sent to the first email address on the list so that the recipient can create their Client certificate.
Note: If you submitted a CSR, then the Client certificate will be attached to the final email..
