Support for Microsoft certification vouchers and possible extensions is handled only by the official Credentials Support team and, for Pearson VUE–delivered exams, by Pearson VUE/MindHub.
Based on the provided information, the correct next steps are:
- Open a support ticket with Microsoft Credentials Support
- Go to https://aka.ms/credentialssupport.
- Sign in with the same Microsoft account used for the certification/voucher.
- Click Continue and complete all required profile fields, then Save.
- Open https://aka.ms/credentialssupport again.
- The page will auto-select Product Family: Learning and Service: Microsoft Credential.
- Describe the situation in detail (voucher expiring today, accessibility needs, failed OnVUE attempt, plan to test at a center, and that the exam content did not load).
- Submit the request and wait for the support team’s response (it can take up to about three business days in similar cases).
- If the voucher came from a specific promotion (for example, an event or sweepstakes)
- Check the terms and conditions of that offer. Many Microsoft voucher programs explicitly state that voucher expiration extensions are not permitted and that exams must be scheduled and taken by the stated date. For example, the SXSW EDU vouchers and other promotional vouchers require that the exam be both scheduled and taken before the expiration date and do not allow extensions.
- Even when terms say extensions are not allowed, only the official support team can confirm whether any exception is possible in an accessibility-related case.
- If the voucher email was sent by “MindHub Pro by Pearson VUE”
- For technical issues redeeming or using the voucher (including when the exam does not load correctly), contact Pearson/MindHub support as documented in similar voucher instructions:
- Email the MindHub Pro support address shown in the voucher instructions (for example, ******@pearson.com in comparable programs) and explain:
- Voucher code
- Exam ID
- That the exam did not load in OnVUE despite multiple restarts
- That the voucher expires today and that an accessible delivery (screen reader, test center) is required.
- Email the MindHub Pro support address shown in the voucher instructions (for example, ******@pearson.com in comparable programs) and explain:
- For technical issues redeeming or using the voucher (including when the exam does not load correctly), contact Pearson/MindHub support as documented in similar voucher instructions:
- Coordinate accessibility accommodations with the test center
- Continue working with the test center at the university so they understand how to request and configure accommodations such as a screen reader.
- When Microsoft or Pearson support responds, provide any instructions they give to the test center so the exam can be scheduled with the correct accommodations.
Only Microsoft Credentials Support and Pearson VUE/MindHub can review the voucher details, the failed OnVUE delivery, and any possible remedy (such as rescheduling or replacing/extending the voucher). Opening a ticket with them as soon as possible is required; community forums cannot change voucher expiration.
