Can I Change the Primary Domain Name Associated with a Certificate?

That depends on the situation.

  • If the certificate has not been issued:

    Yes.

    Revoke the certificate application, bind a new primary domain name, and apply for the certificate again.

  • If your certificate has been issued and is within the allowable reissue period (GlobalSign allows you to apply for a reissue within five days after the certificate is issued. DigiCert and GeoTrust allow you to apply for a reissue within 25 days after the certificate is issued.):

    Yes.

    Apply for a reissue for the certificate. For more details, see Reissuing an SSL Certificate.

  • If your certificate has been issued and is out of the allowable reissue period (GlobalSign allows you to apply for a reissue within five days after the certificate is issued. DigiCert and GeoTrust allow you to apply for a reissue within 25 days after the certificate is issued.):

    No.

    The primary domain name cannot be changed in this situation. To change the primary domain name, purchase a new certificate. For more details, see Purchase an SSL Certificate.
