Hello Microsoft Credentials Support,

I hold the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert (PL-600) certification.

My certification is currently active and expires on December 24, 2026.

However, I cannot see the Renew option in my Microsoft Learn profile. I understand that PL-600 was retired on June 30, 2026.

Could you please confirm whether any renewal opportunity was available for existing certification holders whose certifications expire after the retirement date?

If there is any alternative process to maintain my existing certification, please guide me.

Thank you.

    The PL-600 exam and Power Platform Solution Architect certification were retired this summer

    Retired certifications cannot be renewed. The is no method to renew the certification or alternative process to renew after retirement.

    No renewal option is available for PL-600 after the certification retired on June 30, 2026.

    Supported facts for this case:

    1. PL-600 was retired on June 30, 2026.
    2. Role-based certifications are valid for one year and must be renewed before the certification expiration date.
    3. When a certification is retired, renewal is only possible before the retirement date. If the retirement date comes before the certification’s expiration date, the renewal messaging is adjusted to instruct renewal before certification retirement.
    4. After a certification retires, there is no option to renew it.
    5. If a certification expires, it cannot be renewed and must be earned again by passing the required exam(s), but for a retired certification that path is no longer available as a new credential.

    For a PL-600 holder whose certification remains active until December 24, 2026, the certification stays active on the transcript until its expiration date, but there is no alternative renewal process to maintain that same certification beyond expiration.
