Changes to Comodo CA Issuing CAs - NEW Sectigo branded issuing CAs as part of our planned transition from Comodo CA to Sectigo, new customer certificates from Sectigo branded issuing CAs under our widely trusted USERTrust root Cas were issued January 14, 2019 (10:39 AM UTC).

We want to assure all customers and partners that this change happened seamlessly with no action needed.
Your existing certificates, issuing CAs, and roots remain active and trusted. The new Sectigo intermediates will be used to fulfill new requests, renewal requests, and requests that are pending from the time of this transition. Reissuance requests that are handled directly by Sectigo will be fulfilled using the same issuing CA that issued your original certificate.

If you wish to reissue any certificates from the new Sectigo issuing CAs proactively, please contact Support via sectigo.com/support or your Account Manager.
