We are inform you about an important update regarding your use of Sectigo’s general-purpose Subordinate CAs. As part of Sectigo’s commitment to improving security and ensuring the ubiquity of our certificates, we have successfully incorporated our new Public Root CAs into the major root stores, including Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, and Google/Chrome.
What’s changing?
As part of this transition, we will be migrating all certificate issuance to the new Sectigo Public Roots according to the following timeline:
- S/MIME Certificates: March 1st, 2025
- EV TLS Certificates: April 15th, 2025
- OV TLS Certificates: May 15th, 2025
- DV TLS Certificates: June 2nd, 2025
This migration also includes migrating partners currently using whitelabel Subordinate CAs. Our compliance team will be handling this transition separately. If you have such a Subordinate CA, you can expect to receive more detailed communication regarding the steps needed in the next few months.
How will this impact you?
Most partners using general-purpose Subordinate CAs will be affected by this change. Rest assured, we are working to make this migration as seamless as possible, and our team will provide the necessary guidance to ensure smooth integration with the new roots.
What’s next?
Our team will reach out to you soon with specific instructions tailored to your Subordinate CA setup. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need immediate assistance, please check Sectigo FAQ page.
