Certificate revocation results in the loss of ability of the digital certificate holder to use the certificate for electronic ordering purposes by placing the certificate information onto a “Certificate Revocation List,” or CRL, that relying parties (people who accept your digital certificate) are required to check.
CSOS Signing Certificates expire when the associated DEA Registration expires, and must be renewed in addition to the DEA Registration (also referred to as the DEA license or Form 223).
The CSOS Registration Authority will notify the subscriber via E-mail 45 days prior to certificate expiration. Follow the link below to the Web Portal to renew your CSOS certificate.
Information changes should be made through the CSOS Web Portal. Any subscriber information in the My Information tab may be edited.
