From the moment a certificate is revoked, both the original certificate and any copies that may have been made of it will cease to be valid and may no longer be used even if the certificate's expiry date has not arrived.


If you want to permanently cancel your idCAT Certificate or, as the holder thereof, you suspect or are certain that a third party has access to your certificate (you have lost it or it has been stolen) it is necessary to revoke it .
