At the beginning of 2023, PeopleCert introduced an expiration date for all “Global Best Practice” certifications, including ITIL and PRINCE2. You can find out what this is all about, who should take care of re-certification and when, and how this is possible in the following FAQ!
All PeopleCert's so-called global best practice certifications are valid for just three years, with retroactive effect from 30.06.2020. This regulation applies, among other things, to all ITIL® 4 certificates (not for ITIL® v3 certifications), all PRINCE2® 5th & 6th Edition certifications and PRINCE2® Agile. PeopleCert Scrum Master certificates are not affected by this regulation. All certificate holders for whom this news is relevant have already been contacted directly by PeopleCert in recent months.
PeopleCert wants to ensure that the Global Best Practice Certificates are proof of current knowledge in the respective area and that certificate holders are up to date with the respective framework. All Global Best Practice Frameworks are being continuously developed in terms of content and adapted to changing conditions in industry. It therefore makes perfect sense to keep yourself up to date professionally through regular further training!
If you received your certificate before June 30, 2020, you have until July 1, 2023 to renew it. For all certificates that you have received from July 1, 2020, you have 3 years from the certification date to renew/renew the certificate.
Attention: If you have already completed several certificates in a subject area, the renewal date for all certificates is the exam date of the last exam +3 years. An example to explain: If you successfully passed your ITIL 4 Foundation exam on January 1, 2021 and completed your ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support certification on January 1, 2022, BOTH ITIL certificates have the renewal date of January 01, 2025.

You are not required to renew your certification, all certifications (whether renewed or not) remain visible in your PeopleCert customer account, you can access them as-is, and you can download certificates. Certifications that have passed their renewal date will continue to be recognized as a requirement for participation in advanced courses.
An unextended certificate will continue to be publicly available in PeopleCert's”Successful Candidate Register“- but with the note that this certificate does not comply with the current PeopleCert certification standards.
