AWS Certificate Manager sets 2027 end date for email-validated certificate renewals

AWS Certificate Manager will phase out email validation for public certificate renewals throughout 2027, aligning with the CA/B Forum's March 15, 2028 deadline for ending email-based domain validation. The CA/B Forum sets standards that browsers and certificate authorities follow for publicly trusted certificates. Organizations using email validation for certificate issuance and renewal will need to migrate to alternative validation methods before the deadline.

Why it matters: AWS ACM customers relying on email validation must plan migration to alternative domain validation methods (DNS, HTTP) by end of 2027 to avoid certificate renewal failures after March 2028.
