So, twice a year we update the SSL certificate supporting your ServiceNow instances in our data centers. The last update was performed in April 2025.</p><p><strong>Here's what you can expect</strong></p><ul><li>This is a change to the *.<a href="http://service-now.com/" target="_blank">service-now.com</a> SSL certificate only. It will not affect the DigiCert Root Certificate Authority, which does not expire until 2030.</li><li>If your organization does not hard-code SSL certificates, this update will not affect your ability to connect to your instance, and no action is needed from you.</li><li>If you have hard-coded our leaf certificate into your infrastructure, you will need to manually update the certificate. Here are some common cases where hard-coded SSL certificates may be found:<br><ul><li>You use a proxy server to access your ServiceNow instance. The proxy may have the current SSL leaf certificate hard-coded into the proxy software.</li><li>You have inbound integrations that connect to your ServiceNow instance. Some examples of these can be found here: ServiceNow Product Documentation: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/washingtondc-platform-administration/page/integrate/vendor-specific-integrations/reference/r_SupportedIntegrationInterfaces.html__;!!Jh1S!nACEkWVYG7aD8vXQjtlbv_LEGSMFvOBZcgTVXtLd3gcCGRREFjK0geH1KINrlLvErl9WhKuysTcLwbIuuhuS$" target="_blank">List of Available Integrations</a>.</li></ul></li><li>Keep in mind: We strongly discourage hard-coding SSL certificates. Hard-coding creates a dependency on specific certificates and requires you to run a manual update when we change them. Please note, ServiceNow reserves the right to rotate certificates without customer notification in response to a security need, should one arise.
