## Renewing Your Certification

### Renew by passing a professional-level exam
To renew your Vault Associate certification, you will need to take and pass either the Vault Associate 003 exam or the Vault Operations Professional exam.

**_Unexpired_ Vault Associate 002 or 003 credentials:**
**If you hold an *unexpired* Vault Associate 002 certification:** You can take the new (003) exam starting 18 months after your previous exam date. When you pass the exam, you will receive a new, separate set of credentials (badge and certificate) that reflect your recertification date. The expiration date of your Vault Associate 002 credentials will remain unchanged.

When you pass the Vault Operations Professional exam, you will receive the professional-level credentials (badge and corresponding certificate). You will also extend the expiration of your Vault Associate 002 or 003 credentials.
**If you hold an *unexpired* Vault Associate 003 certification:** You can retake the Vault Associate 003 exam starting 18 months after your previous exam date. When you pass the exam, the expiration date on your credentials will be extended.

### Renew by passing an associate-level exam
**You can also renew any *unexpired* Vault Associate certification by passing the Vault Operations Professional exam.** This will extend the expiration date of your unexpired Vault Associate 002 or 003 certification and grant you professional-level credentials.
