Organization-validated (OV) domains and Extended Validation (EV) domains are migrated when you activate your CertCentral account.
Domains pending validation
Domains with pending validation are not migrated. However, once pending domain validation has been completed, validated domains are brought over whenever you import active public TLS/SSL certificates.
Domain validation (DV) domains do not migrate. DV certificates require you to complete domain control validation for every DV certificate event, like new issuance, replacement, and renewal. To migrate a DV domain, simply request, replace, or renew a DV certificate for the domain from your CertCentral account.
Certificates are not automatically migrated to your new CertCentral account. You'll import your certificates after you activate and sign into your new account. All valid TLS/SSL and code signing certificates can be imported.
Pending certificates cannot be imported. However, if a certificate request is approved and issued in your legacy account, go to CertCentral to import it.
Expired, revoked, and deactivated certificates cannot be imported.
To import your valid certificates, go to Certificates > Orders in your CertCentral account and click Import legacy certificates.
Currently, only the person who activates the CertCentral account can access the Import legacy certificates option on the Orders page. Other users in your account can access the Orders page and interact with the imported certificates, but they never see the Import legacy certificates button.
Currently, certificates can be imported once every 24 hours. With each additional import, only new certificates are brought over to CertCentral.
When you import your active, public SSL/TLS certificates to CertCentral, we copy the email addresses from the order in your old account and add them to the additional emails section of your migrated orders.
CertCentral: Certificate orders' additional emails feature
In CertCentral, certificate orders include an additional emails feature. This feature allows you to assign additional email addresses to receive notification emails for the certificate order: renewal notices, reissues, duplicates, etc. To view details about an order, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Order. Then on the Orders page, click the certificate's order number.
When orders are migrated to CertCentral, renewal emails for these orders are disabled by default. This is because renewal notices for the migrated orders are still sent from your old account. See Renewal emails.
After the order is renewed from your CertCentral account, renewal notices are automatically enabled for the order. Renewal notices for the order are then sent from CertCentral.
Some Private TLS/SSL, S/Mime, and other types of certificates cannot be migrated at this time. Talk to your account manager or contact us to help move your other valid certificates to your new CertCentral account.
Your public SSL/TLS certificate renewal emails will continue to come from your old account. The renewal content will change to meet your current situation.
Even after an account is migrated, private SSL/TLS and non-SSL/TLS certificate renewal emails will remain unchanged and link to your legacy account for renewals.
When public SSL/TLS, code signing, and private SSL/TLS certificates are imported to your CertCentral account, they will appear on the Orders page with their new DigiCert CertCentral product names.
