Add your certifications

Applies to: All plans · Last updated October 8, 2026

Your certifications are the starting point: MyCertRenewal tracks each one’s renewal cycle and checks every activity you log against them.

Add certifications

  • New accounts: the setup wizard adds your certifications, or imports them from Credly.
  • Later: go to Profile → Credentials and select + Add credential. Choose the certification from the list, then add the credential ID and the earned and expiry dates.
  • Have the certificate as a PDF? Add it in the same window and MyCertRenewal reads the number and dates from it, fills any empty fields and keeps the file as proof.
  • Working toward a certification you do not hold yet? Use + Plan a certification. It sits under “On the plan” until you pass.

On a team account, owners and admins manage other people’s credentials from People (the Credentials tab has a Manage on People button).

MyCertRenewal app screen: Profile → Credentials, with + Add credential and + Plan a certification.

What you see for each certification

  • Credential ID, Earned and Expires.
  • Stage: Maintaining means held and earning credits in an open renewal cycle; Active means held, with no renewal cycle being tracked. If a certification shows Set up renewal, select it to start tracking its cycle (see Your renewal cycles).
  • Cycle opens its renewal cycle, Verify opens the credential’s verification link, such as Verify on Credly, and Edit updates the details, badge or proof.

Good to know

  • The Free plan tracks up to 2 certifications. Pro and above have no limit.
  • Some certifications renew by passing an exam or assessment (for example AWS). They are tracked by expiry date and show no credits to collect.
