Use this Certificate Decoder to decode your A Certificate Signing Request is a crucial element when it comes to getting an SSL certificate issued. Not unlike the documentation you're asked to fill out and provide when applying for a driver's license, you want to make sure that all of your information is accurate and up to date. A mistake could result in a mis-issuance or not getting a certificate issued at all.
In addition to helping you to generate a CSR, we can also help you to decode your CSR to ensure that it includes all the correct information. This is a good practice in general, but is especially important if you're re-using an old CSR or have multiple CSRs for multiple orders.

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
