Can I export my ACM certificate bundle and private key to other Regions or accounts?

I requested a public AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate. I want to know if I can export the certificate bundle and private key to another AWS Region or AWS account.

Resolution

To manage certificates across Regions and accounts, take one of the following actions:

  • Request exportable public certificates
  • Request multiple public certificates

Important: You must request or import ACM certificates in the same Region as your load balancer. For Amazon CloudFront distributions, request the certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.

Request exportable certificates

Complete the following steps:

  1. Request an exportable public certificate.
  2. Export the public certificate.
    Note: For more information about the cost of exportable certificates, see AWS Certificate Manager pricing.
  3. Import the certificate.

Request multiple public certificates

Use this option when you don't have exportable public certificates.

First, request multiple public certificates. Then, use the certificates with services that integrate with ACM.
