Tag not monitored by Microsoft.
If both Learn profiles each contain a personal Microsoft account, they cannot be merged through the self-service process; submit a Credentials Support request to have the duplicate certification profiles and exam records reviewed.
1. Check whether self-service merging is available
Sign in to each profile separately, then:
- Select the profile icon in the upper-right.
- Select Settings.
- Under Account Management, inspect the attached login accounts.
- Determine whether both profiles have a personal Microsoft account or whether one uses only a work/school account.
A merge is supported only when one of the two profiles contains a personal Microsoft login account. A resulting Learn profile can contain only one personal account, although it can contain up to five work/school accounts.^1^
2. If only one profile has a personal account
Choose the profile that you want to retain, preferably the one containing the personal account:
- Sign in to that Learn profile.
- Select the profile icon → Settings.
- Under Account Management, select Add login account.
- Sign in using the login account attached to the other Learn profile.
- Because that login is already associated with another profile, Learn should initiate a Profile Merge.^2^
The merge:
- Combines learning progress, credentials, certification data, and transcripts.
- Removes duplicate learning content.
- Retains all associated login methods.
- Cannot be undone.^1^
Afterward, open Profile → Credentials → Certifications and check that the certification and exam history appears under the consolidated profile.
3. If both profiles have personal accounts—or exam records remain separate
Submit a case through Credentials Support rather than ordinary Microsoft account support:
- Open the Credentials Support page and select online support request.
- Confirm:
- Product family: Learning
- Product or Service: Microsoft Credentials
- Type of Support: Professional No Charge
- Preferred contact method: Email
- Explain that two Learn/certification profiles exist and that an earlier AZ-104 exam attempt and a new appointment are assigned to different profiles.
- Supply both Learn Usernames, candidate identifiers, registration identifiers, and screenshots privately in the support case. The Learn Username is available under Profile → Settings → Personal info, username, and URL.
- Ask support to consolidate or correctly associate the certification and exam records before the scheduled retake.^3^
Do not post candidate or registration identifiers publicly; remove them from any public Q&A post where possible.
