+## Read Raw Certificate
+
+This endpoint retrieves one of a selection of certificates _in raw DER-encoded
+form_. This is a bare endpoint that does not return a standard Vault data
+structure and cannot be read by the Vault CLI; use `/pki/cert/:serial` for that. If
+`/pem` is added to the endpoint, the selected certificate is returned in PEM format.
+
+This is an unauthenticated endpoint.
+
+| Method | Path                          |
+| :----- | :---------------------------- |
+| `GET`  | `/pki/cert/:serial/raw(/pem)` |
+
+### Parameters
+
+- `serial` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the serial number of the
+  certificate to select, in hyphen-separated or colon-separated octal.
+
+### Sample Request
+
+```shell-session
+$ curl \
+    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/cert/39:dd:2e.../raw
+```
+
+### Sample Response
+
+```text
+<binary DER-encoded certificate>
+```
+
 ## List Certificates
 
 This endpoint returns a list of the current certificates by serial number only.
