HOW TO RENEW SSL CERTIFICATE FOR MY WEBSITE

An SSL certificate can be used to secure a website. It is easy and cost-effective. This increases the trust your website has among customers. The validity period of SSL certificates expires after 1-2 years.

The SSL Certificate must be renewed after it expires. The renewal of an SSL certificate is very similar to buying a new one. It is simple and easy to renew SSL certificates.

While the SSL renewal process is an important step in the entire SSL process, there are some things you need to remember. One of these is the time period. If your certificate is due to expire in a few days, renew it as soon as you can. It is important to renew SSL certificates before expiry. SSL certificates are trust seals and we want to freeze that trust.

If you hold an OV (Organization Validation) or EV [Extended Validation] certificate, your company information will be checked again and the CA (Certificate Authority), will resubmit all necessary documents.
After successful renewal, the certificate will be sent to you by email. To renew the certificate, you will need to install it on your server.

You can also use a general query such as:

#1 Do I require a new CSR to renew SSL?

Yes. Each renewal will require you to generate a new CSR/RSA pairing. You’ll also need to save your RSA to continue installation.

Ask your web hosting provider for CSR if you are unable to generate it yourself.

You can now proceed to the next steps. However, please keep the same contact information you used when you obtained an OV/EV SSL Certificate. This will help you save time during renewal.

It is important to understand how long it takes to renew SSL Certificate. It takes the same time to renew SSL Certificate as it does to purchase a new SSL Certificate. It is the same process, so don’t be surprised if you see similar steps.

There are many factors that affect the time it takes to issue the Renew SSL Certificate. If the validation is not completed properly, the above time frame may be different.

It may take up to 1-2 hours for a Renewing Domain Validation SSL Certificate.
It may take approximately 4-5 days to issue OV SSL Certificates for renewal of organization validation.
It may take up to 1-2 weeks for Extended Validation (EV), SSL Certificates to be renewed.

#3 Why do SSL Certificates Expire?

Long-running debates have raged over why SSL certificates are not long-lasting or why they expire.

This question can be answered with “Security”. As new keys are generated each time, a shorter-life certificate can help to reduce key compromises. To ensure that all certificates comply with the most recent security standards.

#4 When does my SSL certificate expire?
