Change Distinguished Name

Your SSL Certificate contains information that helps your business establish trust online. Consumers look for online identity assurance by viewing organizational information in the security status bar of high security browsers and by clicking on the trust mark in older browsers. VeriSign has applied the industry’s most rigorous validation practices since our inception and has become the most trusted security mark on the Internet. Make sure to enter the Distinguished Name information exactly as you would like it to appear to Web site visitors.

You can change the corporate and technical contacts during the renewal enrollment process. However, you will need to apply for a new certificate if any of the Distinguished Name information has changed. If your SSL Certificate has been revoked, you cannot change the Distinguished Name without purchasing a new certificate. See examples below.

If you are replacing an SSL Certificate that was revoked, you cannot change the Distinguished Name without purchasing a new certificate.
