push notification renewal

I got the following message, don't know what action to take. The following Apple Push Notification Service certificate, created for AppleID xxxxxxxxxxxx will expire on May 11, 2023. Revoking or allowing this certificate to expire will require existing devices to be re-enrolled with a new push certificate.


Mobile Device Management - null 


Please contact your vendor to generate a new request (a signed CSR), then visit https://identity.apple.com/pushcert to renew your Apple Push Notification Service certificate.



Thank You,

Thanks for reaching out helpwithapplenow,


It sounds like you're receiving an alert about the upcoming expiration of your Apple Push Notification Certificate. We can help.


When it comes to how your device knows which servers it can trust, certificates play a huge role. They can let your device and its apps connect with the right systems so that you can effectively use your device without sharing data outside of the group it is intended for - such as a workplace or school.


Eventually, certificates will expire and a new certificate will need to be issued. This helps with making sure all the deployed devices are accounted for, and helps in other ways with IT security and device management by the organization.


Now, what you personally need to do will vary based on your role. The documentation that would best be used by your organization's IT group would be found here: Contact Apple for help with Apple Push Notification service certificates.


These alerts are just reminders, so there's a good chance your organization's team has a plan to issue a new certificate before this date, in which case you don't need to do anything unless they recommend it.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
