## 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.

| Signed by | CA owner | Expires | Status | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GlobalSign Root CA | GlobalSign nv-sa | 2028-01-28 | Valid | C84E1378B974A991ACDCDD733421E3061E6FA21A0491C8902BAFDE3855E0063E |

## What happens when it expires

GlobalSign is valid until 2034-12-10, about 8.1 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.
