# About reissuing

**Reissuance** is the process of generating a new instance of the same certificate. It replaces the existing certificate with a new one, maintaining the same domain and organization validations, but allowing updates such as a new private key or CSR (*Certificate Signing Request*).

Currently, **Certificate Manager** only supports reissue for certificates signed by GoDaddy.

## When should I reissue a certificate?

Reissue certificates in scenarios such as:

- Installation on a new machine, but loss of the original file.
- Private key compromised (revoke the previous one after reissuance).
- Inability to export the private key from the original server.
- Need for a new CSR to update configurations, without extending validity.

## How to reissue a certificate?

See [How to reissue GoDaddy certificates](/v4-2/docs/certificates-flow-how-to-reissue-godaddy-certificates) for more information on how to reissue a GoDaddy certificate.
