We are going through the process of changing the name of our organization in the Apple Developer Program due to a organization legal entity change. We provide Apple Pay mass enablement certificates to our clients (Apple Pay Merchant Identity and Apple Pay Payment Processing).

Since the organization name is embedded into the certificate as part of the Subject, my question is:

Will changing the organization name invalidate the existing certificates in any way? Or cause issues when renewing the certificates?

Hi @kap,

No, the organization name change should have no affect on the validity of the certificates or cause issues upon renewal.

However, if you use a Payment Network Operator (PNO) or a Payment Service Provider (PSP), you may want to confirm with them if they manage certificate validation within their systems.
