DCV reuse periods follow the same curve, down to just 10 days by 2029, meaning domain control must be re-validated at almost every issuance.
Domain Control Validation
What is DCV and why is it important?
Domain Control Validation is how a Certificate Authority confirms that whoever requests a TLS certificate actually controls the domain it covers. It is a mandatory step in every public issuance and renewal — typically completing a challenge such as placing a specific DNS record.
TLS certificates protect customer-facing websites, internal services, APIs, VPNs, and cloud workloads. However, as environments diversify, use cases grow and teams decentralize, keeping track of thousands of certificates and renewing them on time becomes almost impossible with manual processes.
Validity is already down to 200 days and will keep falling. Shorter lifespans raise the operational tempo and the pace at which teams need to act.
As Domain Control Validation (DCV) reuse windows shrink toward 10 days, validation must happen far more often, not just once per year.
Validation workflows spread across multiple CA environments and create duplicate, inconsistent processes, with DNS proof records handled differently by each provider.
Introducing
One control plane for public certificate operations, built for 47-days certificates and 10-days DCV.
From DCV challenge retrieval to DNS proof record provisioning, certificate renewal, deployment, and auditability, Evertrust turns fragmented public certificate workflows into governed, automated operations.
Learn more about Evertrust CLMCentralize DCV challenge retrieval, validation tracking, and renewal workflows across multiple public Certificate Authorities without managing each CA process separately.
Automate DNS-based validation across heterogeneous DNS environments, reducing manual updates, copy-paste errors, ticket dependency, and renewal delays.
Trigger validation and renewal workflows ahead of expiration, so shorter certificate validity and reduced DCV reuse windows are managed proactively, not reactively.
Track certificate ownership, validation status, renewal activity, deployment progress, audit trails, and exceptions from one centralized operating layer.
Shorter lifespans don't just mean more work, they mean more work than any team can absorb by hand. Here is what changes, line by line, the day renewal and DCV stop being manual.

European Digital Trust
Evertrust is the European reference in certificate lifecycle management and PKI. With deep expertise in cryptography, we help organizations meet the 47-days transition while keeping their digital trust infrastructure under European jurisdiction, a deliberate alternative to US-based platforms.
Evertrust is designed to fit the reality of enterprise environments, not force you into a single CA, a single DNS provider, or a single way of working.
