How to cancel your electronic certificate
Requesting the Cancellation or Revocation of your Certificate will allow you to cancel the validity of the certificate before the expiration date stated on it.
Revocation can be requested at any time, and in particular, it must be requested when the holder believes that their certificate may have been copied, that their PIN may be known by a third party, if they have lost it, etc...
If necessary, you can request the revocation (cancellation) of your certificate at the certificate issuing entity or at the Administration or Delegation. Once revoked (cancelled), a new certificate must be requested by repeating all the necessary steps to obtain it.
You can request a new certificate and request cancellation of the previous one with the same Administration or Delegation when you go to prove your identity.
In the case of natural person certificates, the holders of the certificates may request revocation.
In the case of representative certificates, it may only be requested by a person with sufficient representation powers, in the terms set forth in the Specific Certification Policies and Practices.
The FNMT -RCM will be responsible for issuing and forming the lists of revoked certificates.
Given that the procedure can vary according to the certificate's issuing body, visit the website of the relevant authorised certifying body or contact their technical support service. All issuing entities have options and help services that can be accessed from their pages.
