Exam AZ-305: Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions i have passed one month ago but no certificate visible or not even a badge in credly to post in linkedin

Exams are not the same as certifications. Some certifications require more than one exam or require you to hold other certifications.

Passing the AZ-305 exam is not the only requirement for the Azure Solution Architect Expert certification. Expert certifications require you to also hold an active associate level certification.

To become a Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, you must earn the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate certification

Hello Julian,

Hello, Sharan

Welcome to Microsoft Community. We hope this message finds you well.   

Based on your inquiry, we understand you have passed the Exam AZ-305: Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions, however your certificate is not visible on your Certification Profile. We will be happy to help you.

Regarding the certificate, please keep in mind that the AZ-305 Exam itself does not issue any Certificate, keep in mind that there is one prerequisite for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.

To become a Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, you must earn the Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) certification.

Keep in mind that to achieve the Certification, all the prerequisites must be active.

You can review the requirements to earn a Certification by visiting its respective Certification page and scrolling down to where it says, "Certification prerequisites"

Here is more information on how to achieve the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.

The Score Report can be downloaded from the Test Center’s portal, and you should see the approved Exam in your Transcript.

Having active DevOps and Developer certificates is valuable, they do not replace the requirement for the Azure Administrator Associate certification. You will still need to pass the AZ-104 exam to meet the prerequisites for the Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification.

Please keep in mind that Microsoft ended their partnership with Credly on June 30,2023. This means that the badging services provided by Credly no longer apply for most of Microsoft Certifications (excepting certificates obtained via Certiport). What is shared from your Learn Profile is the certification itself. 

We hope this information is useful.
