Website Push Certificates expire after one year by default. When your current certificate expires, you can not only see in your account under Settings → Certificates → Apple Safari → Valid until, but Signalize will also remind you automatically.

Note: Renewal of the certificate must be done with the same Apple Developer Account that was used to create the initial certificate.
