Your certificate can be issued for as long as your issuer wants. It's not uncommon to have 5y certs.


Technically yes, but no issuer will provide long expiry certificates anymore [1]. They won't be recognised by major browsers even if they do anyway.

Some still sell 2 or 3 year certificates but that's a marketing ploy. You pay the price for the next 3 years in advance but you still have to renew it every year.
