To resend validation email for your ACM certificate request

The following resend-validation-email command tells the Amazon certificate authority to send validation email to the appropriate addresses:

aws acm resend-validation-email --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 --domain www.example.com --validation-domain example.com
PowerShell
Tools for PowerShell V4

Example 1: Requests that the email to validate domain ownership for 'www.example.com' be sent. If your shell's $ConfirmPreference is set to 'Medium' or lower, the cmdlet will prompt for confirmation before proceeeding. Add the -Force switch to suppress confirmation prompts.

$params = @{
    CertificateArn="arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
    Domain="www.example.com"
    ValidationDomain="example.com"    
}
