I've been away for a period of time and coming back to development I want to clean up my account resources.
It appears as though I have 3 Developer ID Application certificates. I've never released code using any of them, and 2 of them have the exact same expiration date. I assume I created these while under the impression they could be revoked and deleted by myself. But this isn't the case.
The fact that I can only use the expiration date to disambiguate between some them, and also that 2 of them can't be disambiguated is problematic if I were to ever notarise code with them.
How can I get some of these certificates revoked and deleted?
You can find the official answer to this in Developer > Support > Certificates. Note the emphasis on “compromised certificates”.
My advice is that you not attempt to revoke a Developer ID certificate just because you’re not using it. Rather, back it up safely and keep it around just in case you need it in the future.
I talk a lot more about this in The Care and Feeding of Developer ID.
Share and Enjoy
