Who may issue your SSL?

Enter a domain to see which certificate authorities (CAs) its CAA record allows to issue SSL.

About this tool

The CAA record lets you specify exactly which certificate authorities (like Let's Encrypt or DigiCert) are allowed to issue SSL certificates for your domain. It's an important security layer against mis-issued certificates. No CAA record means any CA can issue a certificate.
