#  Re-install a Let’s Encrypt certificate

The VIP Platform will automatically make attempts to renew a domain’s installed 
Let’s Encrypt certificate 28 days prior to the certificate’s expiration date.

If a Let’s Encrypt certificate fails to auto-renew, customers can re-install the
certificate in the VIP Dashboard.

**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.

 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 three dots (“**···**“) to the right of the domain.
 5. Select the “**Re-install Let’s Encrypt**” option from the dropdown.
 6. A confirmation message will appear at the bottom of the dashboard screen when the
    Let’s Encrypt TLS certificate has been re-installed.
