The IPAWS certificate can expire every three years. The steps to replace an expired certificate are the same as uploading a new certificate. When you upload a new certificate, the expired certificate is replaced as long as the same certificate name is used.  
If you receive a request from FEMA to replace an expired certificate, do not delete the expired certificate.
