Troubleshooting

How to fix GlobalSign not working

GlobalSign is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Correct your clock for validation errors
Check your system clock. Press Win+R, type timedate.cpl and press Enter to compare your clock with network time, then reload the page because a skewed clock makes you see false expired warnings.
Retest trust in a clean window
Press Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome to open an Incognito window and load the site again, since extensions or cached intermediates cause trust errors you do not see elsewhere. Try Firefox as well.
Reinstall the missing intermediate chain
Run certmgr.msc from the Start menu to open your personal store and confirm the end certificate has a full chain above it, because servers that skip the intermediate make you get a not trusted warning on some devices. Ask your host to paste the bundle again.
Verify revocation then request reissue
Open a terminal and run openssl s_client -connect your-domain:443 -showcerts to check the chain while you watch for a revoked response, and compare with notes on the official status page since that tells you if reissue is needed. Use the help centre.

While GlobalSign is down: what to use instead

Let's Encrypt Run an ACME client on your server and it issues a domain-validated certificate.
DigiCert For code signing or EV certificates, it handles the order once you complete the identity checks.
Sectigo Order a commercial TLS certificate from it for standard web use.
Existing certificate If your certificate is valid, leave it until the service returns.

Your device

Fix GlobalSign on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

GlobalSign on Windows

Fix: Clear your SSL state in Internet Options and ensure Windows Update is run to get the latest GlobalSign root certificates. If accessing the GlobalSign portal, clear your browser cache and cookies.
Check: Check if websites secured by GlobalSign display certificate validation errors or check the official GlobalSign status page.

Command Prompt

ping globalsign.comTest whether GlobalSign's servers reply

nslookup globalsign.comCheck that GlobalSign's DNS resolves

tracert globalsign.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

GlobalSign on Mac

Fix: Update macOS to refresh your system's trust store with the latest GlobalSign certificates, or use Keychain Access to resolve certificate conflicts. Clearing your browser cache can also resolve loading issues with the GlobalSign portal.
Check: Look for SSL/TLS trust warnings in Safari or Chrome when accessing GlobalSign-secured sites, or monitor the GlobalSign status portal.

Terminal

ping -c 4 globalsign.comTest whether GlobalSign's servers reply

nslookup globalsign.comCheck that GlobalSign's DNS resolves

traceroute globalsign.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

GlobalSign on Android

Fix: Ensure your Android device's date and time are set to update automatically, as incorrect time causes GlobalSign SSL verification failures. You can also update Android System WebView and your browser via the Google Play Store.
Check: Check if your mobile browser displays secure connection errors or if apps relying on GlobalSign certificates fail to connect.

GlobalSign on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Update iOS to the latest version to ensure your Apple device has the current GlobalSign root certificates, and verify that your date and time settings are set to automatic.
Check: Check if Safari displays SSL/TLS warning messages on GlobalSign-certified websites or if secure apps fail to sync.

About

What happens when GlobalSign goes down

GlobalSign is a certificate authority that issues TLS/SSL certificates and code signing certificates for websites and IT teams, and its services support secure connections and signed software. When it has trouble, your certificate requests and renewals can stall while you wait on a new or updated credential.

Certificate validation stalls first. Orders sit in validation while emails or DNS checks fail to finish, and the account portal may show missing downloads or API calls that time out. A certificate that should auto-renew can stay expired. The trouble usually hits one region or one product line before it spreads, so a working login can sit next to a stuck validation, and a replacement for an expired certificate can take a website or a signing workflow offline until the service recovers.

Questions

GlobalSign FAQ

Is GlobalSign down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether reports for the service are above their usual level. It counts those reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and this site does not ping or probe the service itself. For the company's own view, check the official status page linked above. To tell whether the problem is only on your side, try another network or device, then confirm the same certificate or account login fails outside your usual setup.

Why does Chrome show NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID for a GlobalSign certificate?

That error points to a chain problem: your server is not sending the full certificate chain, or the device does not trust the root that issued it. Check that the intermediate certificate is installed and that the chain order is correct. If the problem appears only on older Android or Java clients, their trust store may be out of date. You can test the chain with an SSL checker, then fix the server bundle before you open a support ticket.

My GlobalSign order is stuck on pending validation. What can I do?

Domain control validation often fails because the DNS TXT record or file did not reach the right place. Confirm the record name and value match the order, and wait for DNS propagation before you hit validate again. If you use CAA records, check that they allow the issuing authority; a missing or wrong CAA entry can block issuance even when the challenge looks correct. The help centre linked above has the validation steps for each method.

Why does my GlobalSign code signing certificate not work in Windows after renewal?

SignTool reports 'No certificates were found that meet all the given criteria' when Windows cannot see the private key on your token, or when the certificate is not in the right store. Install the token middleware and confirm the certificate appears under Personal in the current user store. For EV code signing, the token may need a PIN and the correct driver before signtool can use it. If the old certificate expired, remove the stale entry and select the renewed one.

I cannot log in to my GlobalSign account because my MFA code fails. What should I check?

Time drift breaks many authenticator codes, so check that your phone's clock is set to automatic. If you use SMS, confirm your carrier is not blocking the short code and that the number on the account is current. A lost device means you need the recovery codes or a support request through the help centre linked above. Do not create a second account, because your certificates and orders stay tied to the original profile.

How we track GlobalSign

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for GlobalSign, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for GlobalSign, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from GlobalSign's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
