A PKCS#10 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a specially coded data file/message sent to a Certificate Authority in order to apply for a digital certificate. The CSR will contain information identifying the applicant (e.g. Distinguished Name information) and the applicant’s Public Key. The CSR will not contain the applicant’s Private Key.
