Order DV SSL

POST https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/{{dv_ssl_certificate_id}}

Use this endpoint to request or renew a DV SSL certificate. To renew a certificate, you must place the request from the same account used to order the original certificate.

Replace {{dv_ssl_certificate_id}} in the URL with the product identifier for the type of certificate to order:

ssl_dv_geotrust: GeoTrust Standard DV SSL Certificate
ssl_dv_rapidssl: RapidSSL Standard DV SSL Certificate
wildcard_dv_geotrust: GeoTrust Wildcard DV SSL Certificate
wildcard_dv_rapidssl: RapidSSL Wildcard DV SSL Certificate
cloud_dv_geotrust: GeoTrust Cloud DV

If you have multiple AuthKeys associated with your account, it is recommended to specify an AuthKey ID in your API request for ordering. If an AuthKey ID is not included in the request, the AuthKey without validity is used for ordering the certificate. An error is returned If the specified AuthKey is not active, has expired, or does not exist.

Public TLS/SSL certificates support Multi-year Plans. With Multi-year Plans, you pick the SSL/TLS certificate, the certificate validity period, and the duration of coverage you want. To order a Multi-year Plan with this endpoint, use the order_validity object to set the validity period of the order (up to three years). Optionally, use the certificate.cert_validity parameter to customize the validity of the first certificate issued for the order. For more information, see Multi-year Plans.

Warning

End of 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans

On October 31, 2023, DigiCert will no longer sell 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans for TLS and VMC certificates. We will continue to offer 1, 2, and 3-year Multi-year Plans. For more information, see End of 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans.

Notice

Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) and Flat Fee contracts only support 1- and 2-year Multi-year Plans.

Notice

In addition to these products, DigiCert offers flexible certificates that support any type of domain configuration. You can order a flexible DV certificate with the Order GeoTrust DV SSL endpoint. To activate this certificate type for your CertCentral account, contact your account manager or our Support team. For more information, see Flex certificates.

You can only order certificates that are enabled for your account. Use the Product list endpoint to get the list of products available for your account.

.. cert_validity	optional	object	Defines the validity period of certificates issued for this order. Cannot exceed order validity period. If not provided, or if the cert_validity date is less than 365 days from the current date, the certificate's validity period defaults to the validity period of the order or the maximum certificate validity period defined by CA/B Forum baseline requirements, whichever is shorter. This object is not used for requests from accounts that do not have Multi-year Plans enabled.
.. .. years	optional	int	Number of years the certificate is valid after it is issued. Can be replaced with `cert_validity.days` or `cert_validity.custom_expiration_date`. Allowed value: `1`
.. .. days	optional	int	Number of days the certificate is valid after it is issued. Overrides `cert_validity.years`. Max: `397`
.. .. custom_expiration_date	optional	string	A custom expiration date for the certificate. Overrides `cert_validity.days` and `cert_validity.years`. Format: `dd MMM YYYY` (for example, `"09 JUN 2021"`) Range: Must be within 397 days of the date you request the certificate.
.. ca_cert_id	optional	string	ID of the intermediate certificate authority (ICA) certificate to select as the issuing certificate. To get the `ca_cert_id` value for an ICA, use the Product list endpoint. The following public DV products support the option for ICA selection: `ssl_dv_geotrust_flex` `ssl_dv_thawte` `ssl_dv_rapidssl` `wildcard_dv_rapidssl` `ssl_dv_ee` Account administrators can customize the default and allowed ICAs for each product at the container or user role level. If you do not provide a value for this parameter, we issue the certificate using the default ICA. If you provide the `ca_cert_id` value for an ICA that is not allowed, the request returns an error^. To see the custom ICA settings for each product, use the Product limits endpoint. ^This parameter is ignored if the option for ICA selection is not enabled for your account. For more information, see Configure the ICA certificate chain feature for your public TLS certificates.
renewed_thumbprint	optional^*	string	If order is a renewal, enter the SHA-1 thumbprint of the previous order's primary certificate. For more information, see How to check a certificate's thumbprint. ^*Renewal orders must include either a `renewed_thumbprint` or `renewal_of_order_id` value.

validity_days	optional	int	Number of days the order is valid. Overrides `validity_years`. Deprecated. Use the `order_validity` object to set the validity period of the order. Use the `cert_validity` object to set the validity period of the certificate. Max: `1095`
custom_expiration_date	optional	string	Custom expiration date for the order. Overrides `validity_days` and `validity_years`. Deprecated. Use the `order_validity` object to set the validity period of the order. Use the `cert_validity` object to set the validity period of the certificate. Format: `yyyy-MM-dd` Range: Must be within three years of the date you request the order.
comments	optional	string	Comments about the order for the administrator or approver reviewing the order request. The `comments` value is stored on the order `request`. If the order skips the approval step (`skip_approval` is set to `true`), any provided `comments` value is ignored since CertCentral creates the order directly without creating a corresponding `request`.
apply_cr_discount	optional	bool	When `true`, applies any competitive replacement discounts that are available for the domains on the order. To calculate competitive replacement discounts before you place an order, use the List replacement benefits endpoint. Default: `false`
serial_number	optional	string	Serial number of the non-DigiCert certificate for which you expect to receive a competitive replacement discount when you place the order. If not provided, we use the information from your order request to look for a match among certificates on the CT log servers, and we apply a discount based on the best match we can find.
auto_renew	optional	int	Specify if the certificate should automatically renew. Allowed values:`0` (disabled) or `1` (enabled) Default:`0`
auto_reissue	optional	int	Auto-reissue setting for the order. When auto-reissue is enabled for a Multi-year Plan, DigiCert automatically creates a reissue request for the most recently issued certificate when that certificate is within 30 days of expiring. Auto-reissue repeats until the order expires. To learn more about reissuing certificates in a Multi-year Plan, see Multi-year Plans. Allowed values:`0` (disabled) or `1` (enabled) Default:`0` (disabled) Note: We ignore the `auto_reissue` request parameter if: The product does not support Multi-year Plans. Multi-year Plans are disabled for the account.
custom_renewal_message	optional	string	Custom message to be included in renewal notifications.
disable_renewal_notifications	optional	bool	Specify if renewal notification emails should be disabled. Default:`false`
additional_emails	optional	array	Additional email addresses to receive certificate notification emails (e.g., certificate issuance, duplicate certificate, certificate renewals, etc.).
renewal_of_order_id	optional^*	int	If order is a renewal, enter the previous order's ID. ^*Renewal orders must include either a `renewed_thumbprint` or `renewal_of_order_id` value.
payment_method	optional	string	Payment method for the order. Allowed values: `balance` (default): Pay with account balance. Returns an error if the option to bill to account balance is disabled for the account, or if the account balance has insufficient funds. Learn how to debit purchases against your CertCentral account balance. `profile`: Pay with the account’s default credit card. Returns an error if no default credit card is configured for the account. Learn how to set up a default credit card. `card`: Pay with a new credit card. Requests that use `card` as the payment method must include a `credit_card` and `billing_address` object. Returns an error if the option to pay with a credit card is disabled for the account.
credit_card	conditional	object	Object with information about the credit card charged for the order. Required if `payment_method` is `card`.
.. number	required	string	Credit card number.
.. expiration_month	required	integer	Credit card expiration month. Format as a two-digit number between `01` (Jan) and `12` (Dec).
.. expiration_year	required	integer	Credit card expiration year. Format as a four-digit number. For example: `2026`
.. cvv	required	integer	Card verification value (CVV). Format as a three- or four-digit number. For example: `333` or `4444`
.. cardholder_name	required	string	Cardholder’s first and last name.
billing_address	conditional	object	Object with information about the billing address. Required if `payment_method` is `card`.
.. address	required	string	Billing street address.
.. address2	optional	string	Continuation of street address.
.. city	required	string	Billing city.
.. state	conditional	string	Billing state or province. Optional for some countries.
.. country	required	string	Billing country.
.. zip	conditional	string	Billing zip or postal code. Optional for some countries.
vat_number	optional	string	If the payment method is `card` (new credit card) or `profile` (default credit card), use the `vat_number` request parameter to set a value-added tax (VAT) or goods and services tax (GST) identification number for the order transaction. DigiCert includes this number on the transaction receipt as a reference for your financial records. If omitted, DigiCert uses the VAT/GST number from the finance settings for the CertCentral account. If the VAT/GST number is absent from both the order request and account settings, DigiCert doesn't store a VAT/GST number for the transaction. Note DigiCert only stores a VAT/GST number for credit card transactions. For orders using other payment methods, the `vat_number` request parameter is ignored. VAT/GST numbers are not supported for DigiCert USA and DigiCert Japan billing entities. If the billing entity for the account is DigiCert, Inc. (US) or DigiCert Japan G.K. (Japan), the `vat_number` parameter is ignored, and DigiCert doesn't store a VAT/GST number for the transaction. To learn more about your account's billing entity, contact your account manager.
dcv_method	optional	string	DCV method to use when verifying domain control. See Glossary – DCV methods
dcv_emails	optional	array	List specifying the email scope when sending DCV emails. You can add an entry for each DNS name being secured by the certificate.
use_auth_key	optional	boolean	Set to `true` if you wish to associate this order with a specific AuthKey. Note: If true, you must include the `auth_key_id` parameter in the request payload. Also, ensure that the `dcv_method` parameter is set to `token-based`.
auth_key_id	conditional	string	AuthKey ID of the AuthKey you want to use for this order. This parameter is required if `use_auth_key` is set to `true`.
.. dns_name	required	string	DNS name on the certificate that this scope should apply to.
.. email_domain	required	string	WHOIS domain record to use to verify email addresses. This value must match the `dns_names` base domain.

.. first_name	required	string	First name of the technical contact.
.. last_name	required	string	Last name of the technical contact.
.. telephone	required	string	Telephone number of the technical contact.
.. job_title	optional	string	Job title of the technical contact.
.. email	required	string	Email address of the technical contact.
alternative_order_id	optional	string	A custom alphanumeric ID to assign the order. To see the `alternative_order_id` assigned to an order, use the Order info endpoint. Alternative order IDs do not replace the unique order ID that DigiCert assigns each order request. You cannot use alternative order IDs to search for or identify orders in API calls that require an `order_id` parameter in the URL path or request body. If the Require unique alternative order IDs option is enabled in your account settings, you cannot submit order requests with an alternative order ID that is already assigned to an order in your account. Use this feature to enable nonce order requests, or to prevent your integration from creating duplicate orders in cases where you do not receive a response from the API. Account administrators can toggle this option from the CertCentral console. From the Settings > Preferences page, open the Advanced Settings menu, and look for the Alternative order ID option. This parameter is always optional, even if the Require unique alternative order IDs option is enabled in your account. If a request does not use this parameter, no `alternative_order_id` value is assigned to the order. Maximum length: 64 characters Note: The Require unique alternative order IDs option may not appear in the advanced settings menu for all CertCentral accounts. To enable this option for your account, contact your account manager or our Support team.
enable_guest_access	optional	int	Whether to enable guest access for the order. This parameter is not allowed if guest access is disabled in your account settings. Allowed values:`1` (enabled) or `0` (disabled) Default: The default configuration for new orders is determined by your account settings. Account administrators can change these settings from the Guest Access page in the CertCentral console.
use_auth_key	optional	bool	If `true`, when you submit the order request, DigiCert checks the DNS records for an AuthKey request token to complete domain control validation. To learn more about using AuthKey request tokens, see DV certificate immediate issuance. Default:`false` Note: For Encryption Everywhere DV certificates, this parameter is ignored. When requesting an Encryption Everywhere certificate, if an AuthKey exists for the account, DigiCert always checks the DNS records for an AuthKey request token. If no AuthKey exists for the account, or if DigiCert doesn't find a valid AuthKey request token for one or more domains on the order, the API returns an error.
certificate_dcv_scope	optional	string	Domain validation scope for domains on the order. Domain validation scope determines the specific domains that you must validate before DigiCert can issue your certificate. Allowed values: `base_domain`: Validate each domain and subdomain in the request at the base domain level (for example, example.com). `fqdn`: Validate each domain and subdomain included in the order exactly as named in the request. When using `fqdn`: If a domain is a subdomain of another domain included on the order, complete the DCV check for the higher-level domain. For OV and EV certificates only, if a higher-level domain exists in the account with an active validation, we validate the domain under the scope of the existing domain. Default: This parameter overrides the domain validation scope settings for your CertCentral account. If you omit this parameter, the account setting is used.

Response parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	int	Order ID.
certificate_id	int	Certificate ID.
dcv_random_value	string	Random value used for domain control validation. Only returned when using `dns-txt-token`, `dns-cname-token`, or `http-token` as the DCV method. Not returned if `use_auth_key` is `true`.
certificate_chain	array	Ordered list of objects with information about each certificate in the certificate chain (for example, SSL certificate, intermediate CA certificate, and root certificate). The first object in the array contains the end-entity certificate. The next objects contain the intermediate CA certificates. The final object contains the root certificate. Each certificate is signed by the certificate in the object that follows it. For example, the end-entity certificate is signed by the intermediate CA certificate. Note: This endpoint only returns the `certificate_chain` array for TLS certificates that DigiCert issues immediately. To get the certificate chain after DigiCert issues a certificate, use the Certificate chain endpoint.
.. subject_common_name	string	Common name on the certificate.
.. pem	string	PEM-encoded certificate data. Note: The `pem` response parameter includes newline characters `\r\n`, which are an inherent part of PEM-encoded certificates.
requests	array	Contains information about the request.
.. id	int	Request ID.
.. status	string	Request status. Possible values:`pending`, `submitted`, `approved`, `rejected`
