Hello,

My certificate for Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-303, 304) got expired in Dec 2022. I want to renew the same but in my certification dashboard the renewal option doesn't come. I have following questions:

  1. Is it possible to take the assessment to renew my certification even if it is expired 1.5 years back? If yes, then what is the procedure?
  2. If I can't renew my AZ303,304 cerficate, and I want to go for AZ-305 certification, do I have to pass AZ-104 or I can directly attempt AZ-305 ? Though from my certification board, it allows to schedule AZ-305, does that mean I don't need to take AZ-104.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Regards,

Jitendra Sharma

    Hi Jitendra,

    If you don't have Active Azure Administrator Associate certification, then you will need to pass both AZ-104 and AZ-305 in order to earn Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification.

    If you have any more concerns related to certifications/exam please ask your question in the Microsoft Credentials forum using link below. There are support moderators over there that will respond to your question in 1 business day and can assist:
