After completing the renew and submitting my answers, a Microsoft certificate update window appeared. I successfully completed the required test step, however the system is now stuck on verifying my submission. The status has not changed for a long time, and the renewal does not complete.

I have waited and refreshed, and I had to complete another renewal test, and the renewal does not

complete anyway

    Use Microsoft certification support to resolve this renewal issue.

    The renewal program itself is unchanged and renewals must be completed before the certification expires, but issues with the renewal assessment flow (such as getting stuck on “verifying submission” or being presented with the wrong/duplicate renewal test) are handled by the Microsoft Credentials support team, not through self-service troubleshooting.

    Open a support request with the certification team so they can correct the renewal state on the profile and, if needed, reset the renewal assessment:

    • Use the dedicated credentials support channel described here: Credentials Support
    • If the certification is approaching retirement, be aware that renewal windows can be shortened and reminders suppressed; support can confirm the correct dates and status for the specific certification.

    Do not keep retaking the renewal test repeatedly; instead, contact support so they can fix the stuck verification/renewal status on the backend.
