Intermediate CAs issued by this root

The CCADB lists 3 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1: 3 currently valid, 0 expired and 0 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 3 of 3: valid certificates first, newest first. Each name links to its crt.sh entry by SHA-256; an arrow marks a cross-certificate for another root on this site.

Cross-signed versions

1 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1, can still build a chain.

CRL and OCSP addresses

In the root certificate

GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1 itself contains no CRL Distribution Points and no OCSP (Authority Information Access) extension. That is normal for a root: clients trust it directly and do not check its own revocation status.

Used by the intermediates it issued

Addresses found in the CRL Distribution Points and OCSP fields of the 3 valid intermediates signed by GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1; the number in brackets is how many of them use each address.

  • CRL: http://crl.godaddy.com/gd_tls_root-r1.crl (3)

None of the valid intermediates under this root lists an OCSP responder.

What happens when it expires

GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1 is valid until 2040-08-24, about 13.8 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.

Check whether your device trusts it

Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1 by common name (GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1) or fingerprint. The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.

macOS (Apple store: Not included)

Search the system roots keychain by common name. -Z prints the SHA-256 hash, which must match the fingerprint on the last line.

security find-certificate -a -c "GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 25CF3DA8E9B97ADDBF92543C2B82527C8A4E2CFF2062A6483040D4B64ACE719F

Windows (Microsoft store: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Windows identifies roots by SHA-1 thumbprint. It installs third-party roots on demand through Automatic Root Certificates Update, so "not found" can also mean the root has not been needed yet; certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst downloads Microsoft's full list.

Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Not included)

Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and RHEL build their ca-certificates package from Mozilla's root store. Use trust list on p11-kit systems, or search the PEM bundle on Debian and Ubuntu.

# Fedora / RHEL / Arch (p11-kit)
trust list --filter=ca-anchors | grep -iF -A2 "GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1"

Java

Java ships its own cacerts keystore; JDK 9 and later accept -cacerts and the default store password is changeit. Search for the SHA-256 fingerprint in colon form.

keytool -list -cacerts -storepass changeit | grep -i "25:CF:3D:A8:E9:B9:7A:DD:BF:92:54:3C:2B:82:52:7C:8A:4E:2C:FF:20:62:A6:48:30:40:D4:B6:4A:CE:71:9F"

Android

Android's system store is maintained by Google separately from the four CCADB stores above. Open Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Trusted credentials → System (menu names vary by vendor and version) and look for GoDaddy.com → GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1.

Which root does my site chain to?

List the chain your server sends and compare the last issuer with this root; the fingerprint check confirms a local copy.
