<a name="gs-acm-describe"></a>

You can use the ACM console or the AWS CLI to list detailed metadata about your certificates.

**To view certificate details in the console**

1. Open the ACM console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/) to display your certificates. You can navigate through multiple pages of certificates using the page numbers at upper-right. 

1. To show detailed metadata for a listed certificate, choose the Certificate ID. A page opens, displaying the following information:
   + **Certificate status**
     + **Identifier** – 32-byte hexadecimal unique identifier of the certificate
     + **ARN** – An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the form `arn:aws:acm:Region:444455556666:certificate/certificate_ID`
     + **Type** – Identifies the management category of an ACM certificate. Possible values are: **Amazon Issued** \$1 **Private** \$1 **Imported**. For more information, see [AWS Certificate Manager public certificates](gs-acm-request-public.md), [Request a private certificate in AWS Certificate ManagerRequest a private certificate](gs-acm-request-private.md), or [Import certificates into AWS Certificate Manager](import-certificate.md).
     + **Status** – The certificate status. Possible values are: **Pending validation** \$1 **Issued** \$1 **Inactive** \$1 **Expired** \$1 **Revoked** \$1 **Failed** \$1 **Validation timed out**
     + **Detailed status** – Date and time when the certificate was issued or imported
   + **Domains**
     + **Domain** – The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the certificate.
     + **Status** – The domain validation status. Possible values are: **Pending validation** \$1 **Revoked** \$1 **Failed** \$1 **Validation timed out** \$1 **Success**
   + **Details**
     + **In use?** – Whether the certificate is associated with an [AWS integrated service](acm-services.md) Possible values are: **Yes** \$1 **No**
     + **Domain name** – The first fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the certificate.
     + **Managed by** – Identifies the AWS service that manages the certificate with ACM.
     + **Number of additional names** – Number of domain names for which the certificate is valid
     + **Serial number** – 16-byte hexadecimal serial number of the certificate
     + **Public key info** – The cryptographic algorithm that generated the key pair
     + **Signature algorithm** – The cryptographic algorithm used to sign the certificate.
     + **Can be used with** – A list of ACM [integrated services](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-services.html) that support a certificate with these parameters
     + **Requested at** – Date and time of issuance request
     + **Issued at** – If applicable, the date and time of issuance
     + **Imported at** – If applicable, the date and time of import
     + **Not before** – The start of the validity period of the certificate
     + **Not after** – The expiration date and time of the certificate
     + **Renewal eligibility** – Possible values are: **Eligible** \$1 **Ineligible**. For eligibility rules, see [Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager](managed-renewal.md).
     + **Renewal status** – Status of the requested renewal of a certificate. This field is displayed and has a value only when renewal was requested. Possible values are: **Pending automatic renewal** \$1 **Pending validation** \$1 **Success** \$1 **Failure**.
**Note**  
It can take up to several hours for changes to the certificate status to become available. If a problem is encountered, a certificate request times out after 72 hours, and the issuance or renewal process must be repeated from the beginning.
     + **CA** – The ARN of the signing CA
   + **Tags**
     + **Key**
     + **Value**
   + **Validation state** – If applicable, possible values are: 
     + **Pending** – Validation has been requested and has not completed.
     + **Validation timed out** – A requested validation timed out, but you can repeat the request.
     + **None** – The certificate is for a private PKI or is self-signed, and does not need validation. 

**To view certificate details using the AWS CLI**

Use the [describe-certificate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/acm/describe-certificate.html) in the AWS CLI to display certificate details, as shown in the following command:

```
$ aws acm describe-certificate --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:Region:444455556666:certificate/certificate_ID
```

The command returns information similar to the following:
