Renew Digital Signature Certificate

When should you renew a DSC?

Start checking renewal requirements before your existing certificate expires. Renewal eligibility, verification and whether a fresh application is needed depend on the issuing CA and product rules.

Renewal checklist

1. Check the certificate's expiry date and current status.
2. Confirm renewal eligibility with the issuing Certifying Authority.
3. Review updated identity, address and organisation documents.
4. Complete the required application and verification steps.
5. Install or download the renewed certificate as instructed.
6. Update the certificate registration on relevant portals if required.

Important precautions

Do not wait until the last day, especially if you have tender deadlines or statutory filings. Keep the token PIN secure and confirm whether the renewed certificate is stored on a new or existing token.
