# Revoke certificates using ACME automated flow

Request a revoke certificate for an application.

## Before you begin

-   Ensure that a credential has been set up. For more information, see [Create credentials for ACME certificate authority](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/create-credential-for-acme-ca.md).
-   The Certificate Management catalog has been enabled.
-   A routing policy with a DNS challenge action exists. For more information, see [Set up routing policies for ACME](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/set-up-routing-policy-for-acme.md).
-   Role required: certificate administrator \[sn\_disco\_certmgmt.pki\_admin\] or admin.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self-Service** > **Service Catalog**.

2.  Access the form for renewing a certificate.

    2.  Select **Automated Flow**.

    3.  Select **Revoke Certificate \(Automated\)**.

4.  Select the Lookup using list icon \(\[Omitted image "lookup-using-list.png"\] Alt text: Lookup using list icon\) and select the certificate you want to revoke.
