Chrome stops trusting TLS certificates under this root whose SCTs are dated after 2027-01-14 (sct_not_after). Mozilla treats it as an EV root for policy OID 2.23.140.1.1.

"Trusted for TLS" means the store includes the root with the server-authentication trust bit (Mozilla "Websites", Apple serverAuth, Microsoft Server Authentication EKU). Microsoft "NotBefore" means only certificates issued before a cutoff date are still trusted. "Constrained" means the store applies extra restrictions.

Intermediate CAs issued by this root
The CCADB lists 15 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by vTrus Root CA: 5 currently valid, 0 expired and 10 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).
Showing 15 of 15: 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
No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as vTrus Root CA with a different issuer, so a client has to carry vTrus Root CA itself in its root store to trust it.
CRL and OCSP addresses
In the root certificate
vTrus Root CA 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.

What happens when it expires
vTrus Root CA is valid until 2043-07-31, about 16.7 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 2027-01-14.
Check whether your device trusts it
Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up vTrus Root CA by common name (vTrus Root CA) 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 The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.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 "vTrus Root CA" -Z \
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 8A71DE6559336F426C26E53880D00D88A18DA4C6A91F0DCB6194E206C5C96387
Windows (Microsoft store: Not included)
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.
certutil -verifystore Root 841A69FBF5CD1A2534133DE3F8FCB899D0C914B7
Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Included · Trusted for TLS)
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 "vTrus Root CA"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
| openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "vTrus Root CA"
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 "8A:71:DE:65:59:33:6F:42:6C:26:E5:38:80:D0:0D:88:A1:8D:A4:C6:A9:1F:0D:CB:61:94:E2:06:C5:C9:63:87"
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 iTrusChina Co.,Ltd. → vTrus Root CA.
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.
# show subject (s:) and issuer (i:) of every certificate the server sends
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com -showcerts </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
| grep -E '^ *[0-9]+ s:|^ *i:'
# subject and SHA-256 fingerprint of the downloaded PEM file
openssl x509 -in itruschina-vtrus-root-ca.pem -noout -subject -fingerprint -sha256
# sha256 Fingerprint=8A:71:DE:65:59:33:6F:42:6C:26:E5:38:80:D0:0D:88:A1:8D:A4:C6:A9:1F:0D:CB:61:94:E2:06:C5:C9:63:87
