Do I Need to Get a Newly Purchased SSL Certificate Approved?

Yes.

No matter whether you have applied for a certificate or not, you need to get a new certificate approved after purchasing it. The certificate application process is the same for each certificate. All certificates must be applied for and approved by the CA.

After purchasing or renewing an SSL certificate, you need to submit an application to the CA for approval. You will obtain the new certificate after the CA approves your application. For the new certificate to take over the job, install it on your server to replace the old one, or replace the old one in the cloud service with the new one.

The certificate can be replaced immediately after a new certificate is issued. The replacement does not affect services.
