    Hi,

    Azure Data Engineer Associate certification (DP-203) was retired on March 31, 2025, so you cannot make it Active again. The closest replacement certification would be Fabric Data Engineer Associate certification (DP-700 exam).

    NOTE: You can apply for voucher so that you can take DP-700 exam for free. Please see page below for details:

    Please see articles below for more details on DP-203 retirement:

    I think that once DP‑203 slips past full expiry u can’t pull it back. just re-take it from ur cert page and it’ll light up again when u pass.
