CAA record lookup

CAA records list the certificate authorities that may issue HTTPS certificates for a name. A wrong CAA record is a common cause of failed Let’s Encrypt renewals.

Reading CAA records

If a name has no CAA records, CAs check its parent names up to the domain. If none have any, every CA may issue.

Fixing “CAA record prevents issuance”

Add an issue record for the CA you actually use, or remove restrictive records you no longer need. Then request the certificate again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need CAA records?

No, they are optional. They add protection by stopping other CAs from issuing certificates for your domain.

Which value do I use for Let’s Encrypt?

0 issue "letsencrypt.org". Add issuewild as well if you use wildcard certificates.
