NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED

The certificate has been revoked by its issuer

Seen in Chrome, Edge (Firefox: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE)

The certificate authority has cancelled this certificate before its expiry date, so the browser refuses it.

Common causes

  • The owner reissued the certificate and revoked the old one, but a server still serves the old one.
  • The private key was reported as compromised, so the CA revoked the certificate.
  • The CA revoked it for mis-issuance or a compliance problem, sometimes in bulk.

How to fix it

  1. Issue a new certificate (with a new private key if the old one may be compromised) and install it.
  2. Check every server, load balancer and CDN behind the name now serves the new certificate.
  3. Restart or reload the web server after replacing the files so the old certificate is no longer in memory.
