Just a few clicks and find out if you need to reissue your Symantec-issued SSL/TLS certificate
Do you need to reissue your Symantec-issued SSL/TLS certificate? Simply enter your domain name and find it out.
Why Reissue?
If you are a holder of a Symantec-issued (Including GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Thawte) SSL/TLS certificate, you must have heard that DigiCert has acquired Symantec’s Certificate Authority business as of October 31, 2017. As a result, DigiCert will begin issuing Symantec certificates from December 1, 2017 from its new, upgraded PKI and will also be responsible for its certificate validation processes.
Due to this merger/acquisition, current holders of Symantec (GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Thawte) need to reissue their certificates from DigiCert’s new PKI. Otherwise, Google Chrome will start distrusting your certificates and that’s obviously not good.
So, when will Chrome distrust your certificates? Here’s when:
- Symantec, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Thawte SSL/TLS certificates issued before June 1, 2016 will be distrusted by Chrome 66, expected to be launched in March 2018. These certs must be reissued before March 15, 2018.
- Symantec, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Thawte SSL/TLS certificates issued between June 1, 2016 to Dec 1, 2017 will be distrusted by Chrome 70, expected to be launched in March 2018. These certs must be reissued before September 13, 2018.

"Very fast delivery. Installation was easy with no problems. If you are installing a wildcard SSL certificate on cPanel, you need to specify the actual domain name, don't try to install it on *.domain.com , you have to install it on each subdomain such as admin.domain.com, shop.domain.com,..etc. Use the same certificate for each subdomain you install. Good luck!"
