## Root store status

| Root store | Status | Trusted for TLS | Distrust for TLS after | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Included | Yes | 2026-09-30 | - |
| Mozilla | Included | Yes | - | Trust bits: Websites, Email; EV policy OIDs: 2.23.140.1.1; First included in: NSS 3.17.3 / Firefox 36; Inclusion bug: #825954 |
| Apple | Included | Yes | - | Trust bits: serverAuth, clientAuth, emailProtection |
| Microsoft | Included | Yes | - | Trusted EKUs: Server Authentication, Client Authentication, Code Signing, Secure Email, Time Stamping; Not-before cutoff: 2021-08-01 (Code Signing) |

Chrome stops trusting TLS certificates under this root whose SCTs are dated after 2026-09-30 (sct_not_after). Mozilla treats it as an EV root for policy OID 2.23.140.1.1.

## Intermediate CAs issued by this root

## Cross-signed versions

2 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as GlobalSign but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not GlobalSign, can still build a chain.

## What happens when it expires

GlobalSign is valid until 2038-01-19, about 11.2 years after this data snapshot (2026-11-10). From that day, browsers and operating systems that check trust-anchor expiry stop accepting chains that end at this root, so any certificate that can only chain to it fails validation. Android is a known exception: it does not enforce the expiry date of trust anchors. Root programs can stop trusting it before it expires: Chrome 2026-09-30.
