Note

Since June 1st, 2023, all CodeSign OV and EV certificates are required to be issued directly on a device with physical protection in compliance with FIPS 140-2 level 2 / EAL4+ or higher. Certificates issued prior to this change will continue to work until expiry, but cannot be reissued without a physical protection.

IMPORTANT UPDATE - All new CodeSign certificates validity reduced to 15 months before 15th of June 2025

In accordance with the CA/B Forum, all newly issued CodeSign certificates are being reduced to a maximum of 460 days validity, starting no later than the 15th of June 2025. We expect the CA to stop issuing 2-year and 3-year certificates before this time, at a date still to be announced.
