#  Switch from a custom TLS certificate to a Let’s Encrypt certificate

After a custom TLS certificate has been provisioned, it is possible to switch to
a Let’s Encrypt TLS certificate at any time.

**Prerequisites**

 * Installing a Let’s Encrypt certificate for a domain in the VIP Dashboard requires
   a user to have at minimum an [Org member role](https://docs.wpvip.com/manage-user-access/vip-dashboard/org-roles)
   or an [App write role](https://docs.wpvip.com/app-role/) for that application.
 * [The domain has been verified](https://docs.wpvip.com/domains/verification/).

 1. Navigate to the [VIP Dashboard](https://dashboard.wpvip.com/) for the application
    that the domain is associated with.
 2. Select the environment that the domain points to (e.g., production, develop) from
    the dropdown located at the upper left of the dashboard.
 3. Select “**Domains & TLS**” from the sidebar navigation at the left of the screen.
 4. Select the “**•••**” button located to the right of the domain.
 5. Select “**Install Let’s Encrypt**” from the overflow menu.
