Two words: free renewals

You should receive an email when your certification is due for renewal

Three ways you can find if you have a renewal assessment to perform

1. At the top of your learning dashboard https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/dashboard.aspx

2. Go to the certification page (not the exam page) e.g., https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/power-platform-app-maker and add /renew to the end of the URL

3. Open your Microsoft Learn profile and click on Certifications on the left e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/users/<yourusername>/certifications

Great thank you for the update! I am glad the SC-300 exam is added for renewal as I passed it yesterday and have some great feedback! 🙂 

You renew the certification not the exam

I can see the renewal is in place for Azure Network Engineer Associate Azure Network Engineer Associate https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/azure-network-engineer-associate/renew/

Bhushan D find your certification on MS Learn and add "/renew/" at the end of web address. 🙂

If you have the email, you have the link to the renewal assessment. I have also provided three other ways to where the assessments can be found

Simply add /renew to the end of the URL you have in your post e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/azure-administrator/renew 

Hello, Rajen_Choudhari I realize it's kinda critical to answer, but I'm trying to make you aware that it could happen! As you mention that your BI is about to expire but has not expired yet? and meanwhile, you've performed a re-certified exam? So ((sometimes it takes time to update the status) you may also double-check the IDs you have used for the assessment because it could be two different IDs in one account as aliases), and about notification of the certification expiration? It's just telling you the current status of your old BI Certification.

01: Check your exam credential.
02: Allow sometimes the system to get the update status.
03: You might receive an email confirmation from Microsoft learning with new features (cause Microsoft has a couple of sites/accounts been updated or moved/assigned to a new.

It would be helpful if TechCommunity Core/Educators
considered my answer by educating me (in cases of iniquity/omissions.)

Thanks

thanks Reaz Ali. I appreciate you taking time to explain.

As far as I know LinkedIn certifications are not linked to Credly after you have added them to LinkedIn,

I would imagine that you need to update certifications in LinkedIn manually 

Seriously, you have a six-month period to renew a certification for free online at any time without booking at your own convenience and you can retake as many times as you like.

The purpose of renewals is to make sure your skills are up-to-date for the role. If you are in the role and using the technology then the renewals should take about 20-30 minutes with zero preparation. I did fail one renewal but it was about a new feature I hadn't had much experience of so I spent a few minutes going through the references learn modules and retook and passed.

I much prefer this renewal process to paying and taking a full exam every two years which was the previous process
