How are the PKI certificates that are on my PIV credential updated?

Answer:

The USAccess offering provides the capability for users to update certificates utilizing the activation workstation, which can be accomplished in either an attended or unattended mode (self-service). The USAccess system will generate an email to credential holders notifying them that the PKI certificates will expire based on 90, 60, and 30 days intervals.

A credential reissuance is required whenever there is a change to any of the information printed on the outside of the PIV credential or following a revocation/termination of the PIV credential. Contact your sponsor should you require a credential reissuance.
