## Cross-signed versions

No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as Visa Public ECC Root CA with a different issuer, so a client has to carry Visa Public ECC Root CA itself in its root store to trust it.


## What happens when it expires

Visa Public ECC Root CA is valid until 2041-03-15, about 14.3 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.
