## Question

What will happen to the existing certificate if a reissue or a renewal is requested?

Will it still be valid after the new SSL is issued?

## Answer

Yes, the initial certificate will be active until its Expiration Date. It will not be revoked in case a new SSL is issued.  
  
Both certificates (initial and new reissued or renewed one) are left active and valid.
