# UntagCertificateAuthority
<a name="JavaApi-UnTagPCA"></a>

The following Java sample shows how to use the [UntagCertificateAuthority](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_UntagCertificateAuthority.html) operation.

This operation removes one or more tags from your private CA. A tag consists of a key-value pair. If you do not specify the value portion of the tag when calling this operation, the tag is removed regardless of value. If you specify a value, the tag is removed only if it is associated with the specified value. To add tags to a private CA, use the [TagCertificateAuthority](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_TagCertificateAuthority.html) operation. Call the [ListTags](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_ListTags.html) operation to see what tags are associated with your CA.
