What Do I Do If DNS Verification for a DV Certificate Fails?

If a DV certificate fails DNS verification through the CCM console, refer to the methods below to verify the DNS again.

Failure Message

Solution

Too many verification requests. Try again later.

You may submit too many verification requests in a short time. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes and then perform the verification.

DNS records do not match.

The DNS record you configured is incorrect. Obtain the correct record by referring to Step 2 Obtaining Verification Information and configure the DNS record again.

DNS verification failed. Try again later.

Check whether the following problems exist:

  • Problem 1: The DNS record does not take effect.

    Solution: The configured DNS record does not take effect immediately, which depends on the TTL time set on your DNS server. So, wait for 3 to 5 minutes and then perform the verification again.

  • Problem 2: DNS records are correctly configured, but the verification still fails.

    Solution: The CA verification server is located outside China. There might be network errors sometimes. Try again about 1 to 2 hours later.

  • Problem 3: The domain name has not been licensed or passed the real-name authentication.

    Solution: Have the domain name licensed and complete real-name authentication first. Then, verify the domain name ownership again.

  • Problem 4: The domain name has a CAA record set.

    Solution: Delete all CAA records from the domain name resolution record sets.

  • Problem 5: The CA verification server does not find the DNS resolution record.

    Solution: The CA verification server is located outside China. So, you need to allow servers outside China to access the domain name temporarily.
