Thank you for contacting Microsoft’s Community. We hope this message finds you well.

We have located your Certification profile with your Exams and Certificates and we would like to confirm that your passed titles are no longer active, but they are still visible in your account. You may use them as a reference, but they are already expired.

On the other hand, as you do not have access to the email associated with your account, you may change the email linked to your profile.

Please follow the steps below.

2.    Copy and paste this link into the private window’s address bar https://mcp.microsoft.com/mcp/home/migrate

3.    Access with your preferred email.

4.    If you are shown an error message, please select the option “MCP Home” which will direct you to Your Dashboard, after that you can copy and paste the same link on step 2 in the same search bar.

5.    After you have followed the previous link, it will open a new window to Your Dashboard, as shown in the image below.

6. While being on Your Dashboard page, please delete the URL and paste this one: https://mcp.microsoft.com/mcp/home/migrate

7.    After pasting the URL and clicking on enter, you will see this website, please fill in the fields MC ID and Access code.

Hi Nino,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft’s Community. We hope this message finds you well.

We have carefully revised your profile and it does not show the date it was no longer valid. At this moment, you should still be able to retrieve those titles and use them to show that you are certified in those technologies.

We have sent you a copy of your transcript and certificates via email.

Please bear in mind that the Microsoft Certification team continually monitors industry trends to keep pace with changes in technology, resulting in the introduction, revision, or retirement of some exams, in order to keep the Microsoft Certified Professional program current. This is why some of our Certifications are constantly retired.

Additionally, we would like to inform you that once a Certification is retired, it gets replaced for another one that is based on the most recent Microsoft technologies.

You can also review our Retired Certifications and Exams page for more information.

If this solves your inquiry, please indicate “Yes” To the question and the thread will be automatically closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response within the next business day, the thread will be concluded, once concluded you will not be able to post replies.

Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance.

Best regards,
