steps:

This action copies the certificate request to the clipboard. In addition to the
copy on the clipboard, the screen informs you that the certificate request
has been saved to a file. You can use either the copy on the clipboard or the
copy in the file to transfer your request to the CA that will issue the
subordinate CA’s signing certificate.

Submit your certificate request to a third-party CA, following the
instructions provided by that CA.
