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

After a Let’s Encrypt TLS certificate has been provisioned, it is possible to switch
to a custom 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 [DNS for the domain must already be pointed to VIP](https://docs.wpvip.com/point-dns-to-vip/).

 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 on the three dots (“**···**“) to the right of the domain.
 5. Select the “**Install Custom Certificate**” option from the dropdown.
 6. Follow the instructions for [installing a custom TLS certificate](https://docs.wpvip.com/custom-tls-cert/).
