Legacy MCP Account Migration Request - MCID 7661983

Submit an email case through Microsoft Credentials Support; Q&A moderators cannot securely collect verification data or manually migrate certification records through a private-message channel.

Submit the recovery request

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Learn profile where the certification history should appear.
2. Open Learn profile settings and copy the value under Personal info → Username and URL. The Learn username is now the profile’s unique identifier because MCIDs were retired with the former Certification Profile system.^1^
3. Open Credentials support and select Online support request.^2^
4. In the request form, select:
   • Product family: Learning
   • Product or service: Microsoft Credentials
   • Category: the closest option for missing certifications/profile access
   • Type of support: Professional No Charge
   • Contact method: Email
5. Include:
   • Your current Learn username
   • The retired MCID
   • The certification title and approximate completion date
   • The email/account originally used for certification
   • A statement that the original Windows Live recovery links no longer work
   • A request to locate the historical certification record and associate any recoverable history with the current Learn profile
6. Attach a screenshot or copy of the original welcome email, but expose the temporary access code or other sensitive verification information only inside the support case, never in this public Q&A thread.

Credentials Support is the appropriate team for missing Microsoft Certification records, and support for this category is provided by email rather than phone.^2^

Important legacy-record limitation

Some older exams and certifications have aged out of the Microsoft Certification Program and no longer appear in customer Learn profiles. Support must determine whether this particular certification history remains recoverable.^3^

If the history was migrated into a different Learn profile that you can still access, profile merging may be available. It works only when one of the two profiles contains a personal Microsoft login account; the merge combines credentials and transcripts and cannot be undone.^1^ Do not attempt a self-service merge unless support identifies another accessible Learn profile containing the records.

The Partner Center tag is not the relevant support route for this request; use Microsoft Credentials Support instead.
