Hello,

I’m having an issue provisioning a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for my custom domain **elstudio.ee**.

My site:  
**bespoke-lokum-d4f56a.netlify.app**

Custom domain:  
**elstudio.ee**

DNS verification in Netlify is successful and the domain is already pointing to Netlify.

Current DNS records:

- A: elstudio.ee → 75.2.60.5

- CNAME: [www.elstudio.ee](http://www.elstudio.ee) → bespoke-lokum-d4f56a.netlify.app

However, when I try to provision the Let’s Encrypt certificate, I receive the following error:

**“certificate parameter is required when updating an existing certificate”**

Could you please **reset/clear the existing certificate state for this site and reprovision the Let’s Encrypt certificate**?

Thank you!
