Add a TXT record and verify domain ownership.

Complete DNS domain validation

DNS validation proves ownership by adding a TXT record to your DNS zone.

Steps

  1. Request a certificate and choose DNS validation.
  2. You receive a TXT record (host _acme-challenge.example.com, value x1y2z3...).
  3. Add the record at your DNS provider.
  4. Wait for propagation, then check:
    dig TXT _acme-challenge.example.com
  5. Click Verify in the console to issue.
Wildcard certificates (*.example.com) require DNS validation.
