Validación previa del dominio: Revalidar un dominio antes de su vencimiento

Para la emisión inmediata del certificado, mantenga la validación del dominio vigente

Para mantener la emisión de certificados sin problemas, no espere a que venza la validación de su dominio para revalidarlo completando la validación de control del dominio (DCV).

Don’t wait until your domain's validation expires to revalidate it. With CertCentral, you can revalidate a domain at any time. This domain management feature enables you to complete the domain's validation early, so your immediate certificate issuance process continues without interruption.

Items to note about domain validation:

  • Per industry standards, a domain's validation is valid for 397 days (approximately 13 months).

  • If you order a certificate while the domain's revalidation is pending, we use the domain's current validation to issue the certificate if it is still valid.

Enviar el dominio para su revalidación

  1. En su cuenta de CertCentral, en el menú principal izquierdo, vaya a Certificados > Dominios.

    For CertCentral Subscription accounts, in the left menu, go to Validation > Domains.

  2. En la página Dominios, haga clic en el Nombre del dominio del dominio que desea volver a validar.

  3. En la sección Método de validación de control de dominio (DCV), elija el método que desea usar para demostrar el control de dominio.

    • Correo electrónico de verificación

      Go to your DNS provider and create a TXT record. Add a DigiCert-generated random value to the domain's TXT record. DigiCert does a search for a DNS TXT record associated with the domain that includes the DigiCert-generated random value.

    • Registro DNS TXT

      An email recipient follows the instructions in a confirmation email sent for the domain. DigiCert sends two sets of DCV emails: Email to DNS TXT contact and Constructed Email.

      • Email to DNS TXT contact

        Place the DNS TXT record on the _validation-contactemail subdomain of the domain you want to validate. The RDATA value of this text record must be a valid email address.

        DigiCert sends an authorization email to the email addresses found in the DNS TXT record on the _validation-contactemail subdomain of the domain you are validating.

      • Email to Constructed Email

        DigiCert sends the authorization email to five constructed email addresses for the domain: admin, administrator, webmaster, hostmaster, and postmaster @[domain_name].

        Before DigiCert can successfully send an authentication DCV email to the domain owner (or domain controller), we must verify that an MX record (a resource record in the Domain Name System [DNS]) exists in the DNS records of the recipient's domain name. The presence of valid MX records enables us to send the authentication email.

      End of life for the WHOIS-based Email

      On May 8, 2025, DigiCert ended support for the WHOIS-based DCV email method. DigiCert systems have stopped querying WHOIS entirely to find email addresses for domain validations. To learn more about this change, see our knowledge base article, End of life for WHOIS-based DCV methods.

      What should I do?

      You must update your domain validation process to use one of the other supported DCV methods. If you still want to use the Email DCV method, use the DNS TXT record email contacts or the Constructed email method.

    • Registro DNS CNAME

      Go to your DNS provider and create a CNAME record. In the hostname field, enter _dnsauth. Then, add [random_value].dcv.digicert.com in the target host field to point the CNAME record to dcv.digicert.com. DigiCert does a search for a DNS CNAME record associated with the domain that includes the DigiCert-generated random value.

    • Demostración práctica de HTTP

      You can only use the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV methods to demonstrate control over fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) exactly as named. To learn more, visit Domain Validation Policy Changes.

      • HTTP Practical Demonstration

        Host a file containing a DigiCert-generated random value at a predetermined location on your website: http://{domain-name}/.well-known/pki-validation/fileauth.txt. DigiCert visits the specified URL to confirm the presence of our random value.

      • HTTP Practical Demonstration with unique filename

        Host a file with a random, DigiCert-generated filename that contains a DigiCert-generated random value at a predetermined location on your website: http://{domain-name}/.well-known/pki-validation/{unique-filename}.txt. DigiCert visits the specified URL to confirm the presence of our random value.
