CertCentral: Multi-year Plans are now available for Verified Mark Certificates
We are happy to announce that Multi-year Plans are now available for Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) in CertCentral and CertCentral Services API.
DigiCert® Multi-year Plans allow you to pay a single discounted price for up to six years of Verified Mark Certificate coverage. With a Multi-year Plan, you pick the duration of coverage you want (up to six years). Until the plan expires, you reissue your certificate at no cost each time it reaches the end of its validity period.
Note: Depending on the length of your plan, you may need to revalidate your domain and organization multiple times during your Multi-year Plan.
Multi-year Plans for VMC in the Services API
In the Services API, when you submit an order request for a VMC, use the order_validity object to set the duration of coverage for your Multi-year Plan (1-6 years). For more information, see:
What is a Verified Mark Certificate?
Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) are a new type of certificate that allows companies to place a certified brand logo next to the “sender” field in customer inboxes.
- Your logo is visible before the message is opened.
- Your logo acts as confirmation of your domain’s DMARC status and your organization’s authenticated identity.

CertCentral: Domain locking is now available
DigiCert is happy to announce our domain locking feature is now available.
Does your company have more than one CertCentral account? Do you need to control which of your accounts can order certificates for specific company domains?
Domain locking allows you to control which of your CertCentral accounts can order certificates for your domains.
How does domain locking work?
DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) resource records allow you to control which certificate authorities can issue certificates for your domains.
With domain locking, you can use this same CAA resource record to control which of your company's CertCentral accounts can order certificates for your domains.
How do I lock a domain?
To lock a domain:
- Enable domain locking for your account.
- Set up domain locking for a domain.
- Add the domain's unique verification token to the domain's DNS CAA resource record.
- Check the CAA record for the unique verification token.

CertCentral: Bulk domain revalidation is now available
DigiCert is happy to announce our bulk domain validation feature is now available. Don't spend extra time submitting one domain at a time for revalidation. Use our bulk domain revalidation feature to submit 2 to 25 domains at a time for revalidation.
Remember, domain validation is only valid for 397 days. To maintain seamless certificate issuance, DigiCert recommends completing domain control validation (DCV) ahead of time before the domain's validation expires.
Note: Currently, the bulk domain feature only supports the email DCV method. To use a different DCV method, you'll need to submit each domain individually.
See for yourself
- In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Domains.
- On the Domains page, select the domains you want to submit for revalidation.
- In the Submit domains for revalidation dropdown, select Submit domains for email-based validation.
三月 28, 2022
Starting March 28, 2022, all public S/MIME certificates will have a maximum validity period of 1,185 days. This change is to align with Apple policy updates and only applies to publicly trusted S/MIME certificates newly issued from CertCentral. Certificates issued before March 28 are not affected.
三月 10, 2022
CertCentral: DNS CNAME DCV method now available for DV certificate orders
In CertCentral and the CertCentral Services API, you can now use the DNS CNAME domain control validation (DCV) method to validate the domains on your DV certificate order.
Note: Before, you could only use the DNS CNAME DCV method to validate the domains on OV and EV certificate orders and when prevalidating domains.
To use the DNS CNAME DCV method on your DV certificate order:
- In CertCentral:
- When ordering a DV TLS certificate, you can select DNS CNAME as the DCV method.
- On the DV TLS certificate's order details page, you can change the DCV method to DNS CNAME Record.
- In the Services API:
- When requesting a DV TLS certificate, set the value of the dcv_method request parameter to dns‑cname‑token.
Note: The AuthKey process for generating request tokens for immediate DV certificate issuance does not support the DNS CNAME DCV method. However, you can use the File Auth (http‑token) and DNS TXT (dns‑txt‑token) DCV methods. To learn more, visit DV certificate immediate issuance.

CertCentral: Improved verified contact EV TLS certificate request approval process
In CertCentral and the CertCentral Services API, we updated the EV TLS certificate request process to only send the EV TLS request approval emails to the verified contacts you include on the certificate request.
Note: Before, when you requested an EV TLS certificate, we sent the EV order approval email to all the verified contacts for the organization.
Add verified contacts to an EV TLS certificate request:
- CertCentral
When requesting an EV TLS certificate, you can:- Keep the existing verified contacts assigned to the organization
- Remove contacts (at least one is required)
- Add new contacts (we must validate each new contact, which may delay certificate issuance).
- Services API
When requesting an EV TLS certificate, include the verified contacts in theorganization.contactsarray of the JSON request. For verified contacts, the value of thecontact_typefield isev_approver.
To learn more about EV TLS certificate requests:
- For CertCentral, see Order an EV SSL/TLS certificate.
- For Services API, see Order Basic EV, Order Secure Site EV, and Order Secure Site Pro EV.
二月 8, 2022
Account Security Feature: Approved User Email Domains
CertCentral Administrators can now specify what email domains users can create a CertCentral account for. This helps prevent emails from being sent to non-approved, generic email domains (@gmail.com, @yahoo.com), or domains owned by third parties. If a user attempts to set or change a user email address to a non-approved domain, they receive an error.
Find this setting in Settings > Preferences. Expand Advanced Settings, and look for the Approved email domains section.
Note: This does not affect existing users with non-approved email addresses. It only impacts new users and email changes made after configuring this setting.

Verified Mark Certificates (VMC): Three new approved trademark offices
We are happy to announce that DigiCert now recognizes three more intellectual property offices for verifying the logo for your VMC certificate. These new offices are in Korea, Brazil, and India.
New approved trademark offices:
- Korean Intellectual Property Office
- Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial
- Intellectual Property India
Other approved trademark offices:
- United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
- Canadian Intellectual Property Office
- European Union Intellectual Property Office
- UK Intellectual Property Office
- Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt
- Japan Trademark Office
- Spanish Patent and Trademark Office O.A.
- IP Australia
What is a Verified Mark Certificate?
Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) are a new type of certificate that allows companies to place a certified brand logo next to the “sender” field in customer inboxes.
- Your logo is visible before the message is opened.
- Your logo acts as confirmation of your domain’s DMARC status and your organization’s authenticated identity.
Bugfix: Code Signing (CS) certificate generation email sent only to CS verified contact
We fixed a bug in the Code Signing (CS) certificate issuance process where we were sending the certificate generation email to only the CS verified contact. This bug only happened when the requestor did not include a CSR with the code signing certificate request.
Now, for orders submitted without a CSR, we send the code signing certificate generation email to:
- Certificate requestor
- CS verified contact
- Additional emails included with the order
Note: DigiCert recommends submitting a CSR with your Code Signing certificate request. Currently, Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports keypair generation. See our knowledgebase article: Keygen support dropped with Firefox 69.

Improved Domains page, Validation status filter—Completed / Validated
On the Domains page, in the Validation status dropdown, we updated the Completed / Validated filter to make it easier to find domains with completed and active domain control validation (DCV).
Note: Before, when you searched for domains with Completed / Validated DCV, we returned all domains with completed DCV even if the domain validation had expired.
Now, when you search for domains with Completed / Validated DCV, we only return domains with completed and active DCV in your search results. To find domains with expired DCV, use the Expired filter in the Validation status dropdown.
Find domains with completed and active DCV
- In CertCentral, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Domains.
- On the Domains page, in the Validation status dropdown, select Completed / Validated.
CertCentral Services API: List domains enhancement
For the List domains API, we updated the filters[validation]=completed filter to make it easier to find domains validated for OV or EV certificate issuance.
Before, this filter returned all domains with completed DCV checks, even if the domain validation had expired. Now, the filter only returns domains with an active OV or EV domain validation status
一月 10, 2022
CertCentral Domains and Domain details pages: Improved domain validation tracking
We updated the Domains and Domain details pages to make it easier to track and keep your domains' validation up to date. These updates coincide with last year's industry changes to the domain validation reuse period*. Keeping your domain validation current reduces certificate issuance times: new, reissue, duplicate issues, and renewals.
*Note: On October 1, 2021, the industry reduced all domain validation reuse periods to 398 days. DigiCert implemented a 397-day domain validation reuse period to ensure certificates aren't issued using expired domain validation. For more information about this change, see our knowledge base article, Domain validation policy changes in 2021.
Domains page improvements
When you visit the Domains page (in the left main menu, select Certificates > Domains), you will see three new columns: DCV method, Validation status, and Validation expiration. Now you can view the domain control validation (DCV) method used to demonstrate control over the domain, the status of the domain's validation (pending, validated, expires soon, and expired), and when the domain validation will expire.
Because OV and EV validation reuse periods are the same, we streamlined the Validation status sorting feature. Instead of showing separate filters for OV validation and EV validation, we only show one set of filters:
- Completed / Validated
- Pending validation
- Expires in 0 - 7 days
- Expires in 0 - 30 days
- Expires in 31 - 60 days
- Expires in 61 - 90 days
- Expired
Domain details page improvements
When you visit a domain's details page (on the Domains page, select a domain), you will now see a status bar at the top of the page. This status bar lets you view the domain's validation status, when the domain's validation expires, when the domain's validation was most recently completed, and the DCV method used to demonstrate control over the domain.
We also updated the Domain validation status section of the page. We replaced the separate entries for OV and EV domain validation statuses with one entry: domain validation status.

Industry changes to file-based DCV (HTTP Practical Demonstration, file auth, file, HTTP token, and HTTP auth)
To comply with new industry standards for the file-based domain control validation (DCV) method, you can only use the file-based DCV to demonstrate control over fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), exactly as named.
To learn more about the industry change, see Domain validation policy changes in 2021.
How does this affect me?
As of November 16, 2021, you must use one of the other supported DCV methods, such as Email, DNS TXT, and CNAME, to:
- Validate wildcard domains (*.example.com)
- To include subdomains in the domain validation when validating the higher-level domain. For example, if you want to cover www.example.com, when you validate the higher-level domain, example.com.
- Prevalidate entire domains and subdomains.
To learn more about the supported DCV method for DV, OV, and EV certificate requests:
CertCentral: Pending certificate requests and domain prevalidation using file-based DCV
Pending certificate request
If you have a pending certificate request with incomplete file-based DCV checks, you may need to switch DCV methods* or use the file-based DCV method to demonstrate control over every fully qualified domain name, exactly as named, on the request.
*Note: For certificate requests with incomplete file-based DCV checks for wildcard domains, you must use a different DCV method.
To learn more about the supported DCV methods for DV, OV, and EV certificate requests:
- Supported DCV methods for validating domains on certificate OV and EV certificate requests
- Supported DCV methods for validating the domains on DV SSL certificate orders
Domain prevalidation
If you plan to use the file-based DCV method to prevalidate an entire domain or entire subdomain, you must use a different DCV method.
To learn more about the supported DCV methods for domain prevalidation, see Supported domain control validation (DCV) methods for domain prevalidation.
CertCentral Services API
If you use the CertCentral Services API to order certificates or submit domains for prevalidation using file-based DCV (http-token), this change may affect your API integrations. To learn more, visit File-based domain control validation (http-token).

Verified Mark Certificates available now.
Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) are a new type of certificate that allow companies to place a certified brand logo next to the “sender” field in customer inboxes—visible before the message is opened—acting as confirmation of your domain’s DMARC status and your organization’s authenticated identity. Learn more about VMC certificates.
To disable or change availability of VMC in your account, visit the Product Settings page.
Note: If you do not see VMCs in your account, it may be because we are not offering the product to all account types yet. It is also possible that the product is available, but one of your CertCentral account’s administrators turned the product off in Product Settings.

CertCentral: New purchase order and invoice system
We are happy to announce that we are using a new purchase order and invoice system in CertCentral. We've made several changes to make it easier for you to manage your purchase orders and invoices.
The next time you sign in to CertCentral, you will see two new menu options under Finances: Pay Invoice and Purchase Orders and Invoices. Additionally, we now send all invoice emails from our new invoice system.
Pay invoices page
When you open the Pay invoice page, all invoices are preselected by default. You can choose to pay them all or select those you want to pay.
Note: If you use divisions with separate funds, when you open the Pay invoice page, all invoices for the top-level division are selected by default. Use the For dropdown to view the unpaid invoices by division in your account.
Purchase orders and invoices page
On the new Purchase orders and invoices page, you can create a purchase order (PO). In the Purchaseorders table, you can view pending and rejected POs. After we approve a PO, it becomes an invoice and moves to the Invoices table.
Note: If you use divisions with separate funds, you see the Purchase order and invoice summary page. When you click a division name, it opens the Purchase order and invoices page, where you can view the POs and invoices for that division.
In the Invoices column of the Invoices table, you can see the invoice number and the PO from which we generated it. You can download a copy of the invoice or pay the invoice. When you click Pay invoice, we take you to the Pay invoice page to pay the invoice and make the funds available in your account.
Existing PO and Invoice migration
- Autogenerated invoices
When we migrated our billing system, we did not migrate your autogenerated invoices. At the end of March, we will autogenerate a new invoice for your total amount owed. However, you can make a payment on your account at any time on the Deposit Funds page (in the left main menu, go to Finances > Deposit Funds). - Invoices generated from approved purchase orders
When we migrated your invoices to the new system, we gave them new invoice numbers. However, the associated purchase order number remains the same. If you have questions or trouble finding an invoice, please contact your account manager or DigiCert Accounts Receivable. Make sure to include your PO number and the original invoice number in the email.
CertCentral Services API: View balance enhancements
To help you track financial data in your API integrations, we updated the View balance endpoint to return the following data:
unpaid_invoice_balance
Unpaid invoice balancenegative_balance_limit
Amount the balance can go into the negativeused_credit_from_other_containers
Amount owed by other divisions in the account (for accounts with separate division funds enabled)total_available_funds
Total funds available for future purchases
Example response:
For more information, see the documentation for the View balance endpoint.
