Request parameters

NameTypeReq/OptDescription
certificaterequiredobjectCertificate details.
.. common_namerequiredstringDomain to be secured.
.. service_nameoptionalstringService name associated with the certificate.
.. dns_namesoptionalarrayAdditional domains to be secured. Can result in additional costs. (See Best practices – Get both versions of a domain for free.)
.. csrrequiredstringCertificate signing request (CSR) or public key in PEM format. Format the CSR/public key as a base64-encoded string without line breaks or escape characters. Include the PEM headers and footers (such as -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----... and ...-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----). For more information about generating a CSR, see Create a CSR.
After placing the order, if the status of the order is pending, you can use the Update CSR endpoint to update the CSR. To check the status of the order, use the Order validation status endpoint.
Note: The Services API does not extract information from the CSR to fill in the details of a certificate request. You must provide values for all relevant request parameters, including certificate.common_name, certificate.dns_names, and organization.id. If you are requesting a certificate for an organization without an existing ID, you must provide values for all required parameters of the organization object.
.. signature_hashrequiredstringHash algorithm used for signing the certificate.
EU Qualified certificates support only SHA-256 hash algorithm.
.. psp_rolesrequiredarrayPayment service provider roles.
Allowed values: psp_as, psp_pi, psp_ai, or psp_ic.
For more information, see Payment service provider roles.
This parameter is for indicating existing roles and not for assigning new ones. Your organization must have these roles pre-registered with DigiCert before using the API.
dcv_methodoptionalstringDCV method to use when verifying domain control. See Glossary – DCV methods.
organizationrequiredobjectObject with information about the organization to associate with the request. You can associate the request with an existing organization, or you can create a new organization when you submit the order request.
To associate the request with an existing organization, pass the ID of the organization as the value of organization.id in the body of your request. To create a new organization, include the details of the organization in the organization object. For more information about the structure and required parameters of the organization object, see the Create organization documentation.
Note: When you submit an order with organization details instead of providing an organization ID, we check the organizations that already exist in your account to avoid creating a duplicate.
To override this behavior and force the request to create a new organization, set the organization.skip_duplicate_org_check parameter to true in the body of your request.
Important: When you want to associate an order with an existing organization, we recommend always using the ID of the organization instead of the organization’s details in the body of your request. To get the ID values for organizations in your account, use the List organizations endpoint. Additionally, we recommend deactivating unused organizations to ensure they are never accidentally assigned to a new order request. To deactivate an organization, use the Deactivate organization endpoint.
.. idrequiredintegerThe ID of an existing organization to associate with the order. To get the ID of organizations in your account, use the List organizations endpoint.
*Not required if you are creating a new organization with your request. For details on how to create a new organization, see Create organization.
.. contactsconditionalarrayList of contacts for the organization.
When creating a new organization:
Providing a verified_contact is required for EU Qualified Website Authentication PSD2 certificates. You can add multiple verified contacts, with a maximum limit of fifteen.
For EU certificates, the verified contact is your organization’s Authorized Representative. The authorized representative must be included in the company registry, must represent the organization, and has the authority to approve your EU Qualified Website Authentication PSD2 certificate order.
Providing an organization_contact is conditional. An organization_contact is required if the request is from a service user. If omitted, the organization is created and the authenticated user is used as the organization contact.
Providing a technical_contact is optional. If omitted, the organization is created with no technical contact.
When using an existing organization ID:
Providing an organization_contact and technical_contact is optional. If provided, the new organization and technical contact replace the existing contacts stored on the organization.
Providing a verified_contact is optional if the organization has already been submitted for EU Qualified Website Authentication PSD2 certificates.
Providing a verified_contact is required if the organization has never been submitted for EU Qualified Website Authentication PSD2 certificates.
Note: By default, DigiCert creates the order with the organization contact and technical contact (if one exists) assigned to the organization on the request. To create the order with a different organization or technical contact than those assigned to the organization, include the organization_contact or technical_contact object at the root of the request payload.
.. .. contact_typerequiredstringContact type.
Allowed values: organization_contact, technical_contact, or verified_contact.
.. .. first_nameoptionalstringIf you are creating a new authorized representative, enter the first name of the new contact.

Note: Required when omitting user_id. If user_id is not omitted, the specified user’s information will be updated with the new value.
pseudonymoptionalstringThe pseudonym acts as a unique reference or an identifier of the authorized representative or the verified contact within the system.
Organizations sometimes use a pseudonym to provide an extra layer of privacy or protect the real names of individuals involved in financial services. This can help meet regulatory or auditing requirements while ensuring the individual’s identity remains traceable without revealing personal details.
