Does my Learn profile need to be public to share my Microsoft certifications?
You can share your certifications with your Learn profile in either public or private view. However, to ensure your shared certification can be verified, your Learn profile must be in public view.
What if I don’t want my Microsoft certification to be made public?
You’re in control of how and when your certifications are shared. Adjust the privacy settings in your Learn profile at any time to make your profile and certifications public or private.
My certification looks different from the ones I’ve earned previously. What changed?

What is happening with Credly?
Microsoft is introducing new features to the Microsoft Learn profile, providing learners with more flexible options for viewing and sharing their Microsoft Certifications directly from Microsoft Learn. With this feature release, Credly badge services will no longer be used for most Microsoft Certifications.
All your new and previously earned Microsoft Certifications will automatically be associated with your Learn profile. Once you’ve connected your Microsoft certification profile to your Learn Profile, you can view and share all of your Microsoft Certifications from your Learn profile.
Microsoft Certifications earned and claimed on Credly before June 30, 2023, will be available for viewing and sharing through Credly until June 30, 2024. However, your Microsoft Certifications on Credly will no longer be kept current or updated as you pass renewal exams or earn new Microsoft Certifications. The only exception is Microsoft Certifications issued by Certiport which will still be managed and updated on Credly indefinitely.
What if I earned a Microsoft Certification through Certiport but have not yet received my badge through Credly?
Please contact Certiport to inquire about your missing badge.
Missing badges from Certiport can sometimes occur if you have two accounts in Certiport’s certification system
Can I share a certification after it has been retired?
If you earned a certification that has been retired, you can still view and share it through your Microsoft Learn profile. The certification will still be available on your Microsoft Learn transcript as well.
Why can’t I share exams that I have passed?
Passing most exams results in a certification that can be shared. However, a few certifications require passing multiple exams; once you fulfill the requirements of earning a certification, you will be able to share it.
NOTE: All the exams you passed will be viewable on your Microsoft Learn transcript. You can share your transcript, and it can be verified.
