Certificate service
Manage your SSL, email and other certificates all in one place.
Our certificate service helps education, public sector and not-for-profit organisations keep web and email services secure, so confidential data can be sent safely via the internet.
Whether you are looking to take control of your budgets, save money or make managing your certificates easier by having them all in one place, we’re here to help.
We are currently tendering for a new certificate service provider and so cannot accept new customers onto the service at the moment.
If you would like to be notified when the service is available again, please contact certificates@jisc.ac.uk.
Expert support
Our certificate service also offers advice and guidance on key topics relating to certificate management, such as the drive to automation.
You can check out our automation guidance hub or join our drop-in clinics to learn more.

Jisc is all about delivering value for money - in 2019/20 alone, we saved the UK research and education sector over £7 million through the certificate service based on the average certificate price from the commercial market.

There are two ways a certificate can be revoked after the 9 January 2025:
We continue to offer dedicated support for customers with existing Sectigo certificates.
You can contact us via certificates@jisc.ac.uk where our team will be happy to help.
