Unfortunately, I missed the period of renewal and I do not have money to pay for other exam in this moment.

Is it possible to extend the renewal period?

The renewal period is open for 180 days before your expiry date. The renewal window cannot be extended or reopened. There are no exceptions.

My certification expired. What happens now? If your certification expires, you must earn the certification again by passing the required exam(s).

    No. Once a Microsoft role-based, associate, specialty, or expert certification has expired, it cannot be renewed or extended.

    Renewal is only possible during the six months before the certification’s expiration date by passing the free online renewal assessment on Microsoft Learn. If the certification has already expired, the only way to regain it is to earn the certification again by passing the required exam(s), which are paid exams.
