# Credential Revocation

If you need to revoke a legacy credential, please see section "2. Revoke Credential (legacy)".

## 1. Revoke Credential (standard)

Once a user activates a credential, its status in the Issuer is set to **"VALID"**(see the *Credentials Management* [article ](https://knowledgebase.dome-marketplace.eu/books/dome-credential-issuer-user-guide/page/credentials-management)). A valid credential can be revoked, which means it will be effectively disabled and can no longer be used for authorization purposes.

To revoke a credential, simply click the **"Revoke"** button and confirm the action.

After confirmation, a success message will be displayed, and you will be redirected to the **credentials dashboard**, where the credential's status will now appear as **"REVOKED"**.

You can also verify the revocation on the **credential details page**.

## 2. Revoke Legacy Credential

Old credentials can't be revoked in the way that has been explained in the previous section. Credentials of this type will have the "Revoke button" **disabled**.

When putting the mouse on it (or clicking on it), a tooltip message will be displayed with a link to the guide you are currently reading.

Legacy credentials must be manually added to the Revoked credentials list. Please check the [Trust Framework guide](https://github.com/DOME-Marketplace/trust-framework) to learn how to do so.
