Check your APNIC-issued Certificate

APNIC will no longer be issuing digital certificates for MyAPNIC authentication from 15 October 2019. We will continue to accept certificates that have already been issued for authentication until they expire. Time based One Time Passwords (TOTP) remain available for multifactor authentication.

How do I know if my Certificate is valid?

At the top right-hand corner of your MyAPNIC screen, you will see a rectangular icon representing your Digital Certificate. If the gold coloured certificate icon appears on the top, you are accessing MyAPNIC with a valid Digital Certificate. If there is no certificate icon displayed, then:

  • No Certificate is detected in the browser
  • No Certificate has been issued to the user
  • An incorrect Certificate has been detected in the browser, or
  • The Digital Certificate has expired
