Does PMP certification expire?
Yes, PMP® certification does expire. It requires renewal every three years to maintain its validity. To renew your PMP® certification, you must earn 60 professional development units (PDUs) within the three-year cycle.
This ensures that certified professionals remain updated with project management practices and skills. Failing to do so will result in your certification status becoming suspended, and eventually, it may lapse altogether if the requirements are not fulfilled on time. Keeping track of renewal requirements is essential for maintaining your credential.
