Inquiry Regarding PL-600 Certification Eligibility

Hi, Rohan

Welcome to Microsoft's Community.

We understand that you passed Exam PL-600 but have not obtained the Certificate yet. We will gladly assist.

Please know that the Exam PL-600: Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect is part of the conditions to obtain the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert Certification.

You would need to obtain one of the following Certifications:

• Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate - Learn | Microsoft Docs

• Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate - Learn | Microsoft Docs

Please know that the reason why you cannot see the Certificate is because this Exam does not issue a Certification by itself.

If your certification expired, you must earn the certification again by passing the required exam(s). For more information, visit our Certification expiration policy.

To receive the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert certification, one of the above prerequisites must be approved and active as well.

Once you complete the prerequisite you will receive the certification.

Please let us know if the information provided was useful or if you need additional assistance.

Have a wonderful day,

Dear Microsoft Community,

Thank you for your response and the information provided. I appreciate your assistance.

I understand that to obtain the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert certification, I need to obtain either the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate or the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate certification, in addition to passing the PL-600 exam.

Unfortunately, I had a family emergency that caused my previously earned PL 200 and PL 400 certifications to expire. I would like to inquire if there is any way to renew these certifications without having to retake the exams. I have observed that there is a specific time frame during which individuals can renew their certifications. Sadly, that period has already lapsed, and I am unable to proceed with the renewal process. Due to the circumstances, it would be greatly appreciated if there is an alternative solution.


Additionally, I would like to confirm whether, upon obtaining either the PL 200 or PL 400 certification again, I would automatically receive the PL 600 certification as well.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Hi, Rohan

Thank you for your response.

We understand your concern and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We hope you understand that 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. Once they are eligible to renew, they receive the notifications to the email account associated with their profiles.

Regarding the renewal process:

•           Candidates will not be able to take the renewal assessment before this time frame.

•           The learning path can be accessed at any time.

•           Candidates who do not pass the renewal assessment on the first try can immediately attempt the assessment again. However, after the second try, they will need to wait 24 hours before additional attempts.

•           The number of attempts is not limited, but the assessment must be passed prior to the certification expiration date, or the certification will no longer be valid.

We suggest you read your expiration date visible in Your Transcript and be attentive to receive the notification approximately six months before your certification expires.

If your certification expired, you must earn the certification again by passing the required exam(s). For more information, visit our Certification expiration policy.

We confirm that once you complete one of the missing prerequisites (PL-200 Or PL-400) you will receive the Certification.

You can check additional information in the following link: Renew your Microsoft Certification | Microsoft Docs

We hope this information helps you. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after two business days.
