Hello Varun! 

We hope this message finds you well.

Our candidates are eligible to take their renewal assessment and extend the validity of their certification on Microsoft Learn within a 6-month period prior to their expiration dates. They will also receive a notification when they are eligible to renew. Please note that the Microsoft Learn platform is the most reliable source for checking expiration dates and renewal options. Reminder emails are provided as a courtesy.

Regarding the renewal notifications:

• Four (4) email notification reminders will be sent to the email linked to the candidate's email before their certification expires, in the following timeframes:

  • 6 months prior to certification expiring (renewal eligibility period starts, if renewal assessment for the certification is available)

  • 90 days prior to certification expiring.

  • 30 days prior to certification expiring.

  • 7 days prior to certification expiring (final reminder)

For additional information, steps and requirements for renewing your Certificate, please refer to the links below:

• Renew your Microsoft Certification | Microsoft Docs

We apologize, but we are unable to extend your certification based on the Certification expiration policy (link below).

For future, please allow yourself enough time in advance of expiration to take certification renewal assessments, including time to retake an assessment if you do not successfully pass initially.

After the certification expires, you will no longer be able to renew that certification and will need to re-earn the certification by passing all the required exam(s).

Please refer to the article: Credential expiration policies | Microsoft Learn

Hi Victor,

As mentioned above, Microsoft never sent me any notification via e-mail (let alone 4 e-mails) and I was completely in the dark about this. On an information website, there is also mention that the certificate expires on the date of expiration at 11:59 PM UTC, but my certificate expired before the time. Given that there was some issues with the notifications on your side, it would be great if some allocations were made to give a one-off renewal for me. I would really value it. Please get back to me if you had any queries about this. I would be grateful if you could facilitate this. Thank you.

Best regards,
