Error verifying certificate when using -wget

Hello I am very much a beginner in this field but I am attempting to use a -wget given by website to download a database. However I get the following error:

ERROR: cannot verify <domain name>'s certificate, issued by ‘/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=R3’:
  Issued certificate has expired.
To connect to <domain name> insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

I don't want to use the --no-check-certificate certificate, how else can I solve this issue?

Thank you!

The cirtificate has expired, there is nothing you can do. It's the responsibility of the domain owner to issue a new certificate. I would advice you to not use --no-check-certificate, as a connection with an invalid certificate might not be secure.

If the domain owner wont issue a new certificate, you have no option besides ignoring the invalid certificate (--no-check-certificate).
