Clarification Regarding AZ-204 Certification Validity

Question

Hello Microsoft Certification Support,

I hope you are doing well.

I recently came across the announcement regarding the retirement of several Microsoft certifications, including the AZ-204 (Azure Developer Associate).

I successfully completed and earned the AZ-204 certification(renewed March) last year after paying the required exam fees. Based on the recent announcement, I would like to clarify my current status.

Could you please confirm the following:

1. Whether my AZ-204 certification remains valid until its original expiration date.
2. Whether there is any impact on my certification transcript or its recognition.
3. If there are any recommended transition paths (such as AI-200) for someone who already holds AZ-204.

I want to ensure that my certification investment remains valid and understand the best next steps moving forward.

Thank you for your support and clarification.

Best regards,
