Submit a request to revoke a single certificate on an order

By default, when you revoke the primary certificate on a certificate order, you also revoke the order and all associated certificates, including reissues and duplicates.

What if I only need to revoke one certificate on the order?

To revoke a single certificate on a certificate order—instead of all the certificates—all you need is the serial number of the certificate you want to revoke.

What if I don't want to revoke the order?

To revoke all the certificates on a certificate order—but leave the order active—all you need is the serial number for each certificate on the order. Revoking the certificates instead of the order allows you to continue reissuing certificates under the order.

Before you begin

  • Get the serial number of the certificate you want to revoke.

  • Make sure the certificate is no longer protecting your websites.

    Remember, revoked certificate warnings prevent visitors from accessing a site and affect customer trust.

Notice

Before DigiCert can revoke the certificate, a CertCental account administrator must approve the revocation request.
