What is an Apple Push Notification Service certificate?

The Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) certificate is a notification service that allows Apple devices to be enrolled and managed via MDM platforms like Microsoft Intune.


A mobile device management (MDM) system such as Microsoft Intune authenticates itself to the Apple devices it manages using an Apple Push Notification certificate that Apple issues.

What happens when the Apple MDM push certificate expires?

When an Apple MDM push certificate expires, you cannot manage enrolled Apple devices in Microsoft Intune. You cannot run any remote actions on Apple devices from the Intune admin center. In addition, you cannot use the Company Portal app or Apple bulk enrollment methods for enrolling new Apple devices in Intune.


The certificates must be manually renewed and once you do that, all the Apple devices will accept this new certificate. I would recommend renewing an expired MDM certificate rather than creating a new one for your Apple devices.

Apple MDM Certificate Expiration Email

When an Apple MDM certificate is about to expire, you get a reminder email 30 days before the certificate expires. This email is significant because there is no way to determine when your certificates expire other than by manually logging in to the Apple Push Certificates portal.


The APN certificate that is created to manage Apple devices in Intune is tied to the Apple ID that was used to create it. Microsoft advises using a business email address as your Apple ID and always avoiding using a personal Apple ID.

Apple recently sent me the following renewal email, informing me that the certificate for the Apple Push Notifications Service was about to expire in 30 days.


After I received the above email, I logged in to the Intune admin center to check if the certificate was actually expiring. Indeed, Apple was right; the certificate was about to expire in less than 30 days. So I had to renew it quickly.
