# Reissue active certificate

`POST /v2/certificates/{certificateId}/reissue`

Rekeying is the process by which the private and public key is changed for a certificate. It is a simplified reissue,where only the CSR is changed. Reissue extends validity of the existing certificate by requesting a new certificate with all the same values as existing issued certificate. Once a request is validated and approved, the certificate will be reissued with the same common name and sans specified from existing certificate. Unlimited reissues are available during the lifetime of the certificate.If this API call is made before a previous pending reissue has been validated and issued, the previous reissue request is automatically rejected and replaced with the current request.
