I completed five different courses during June - August and now I have noticed that four of them show valid from date as _August 18, 2026_ which is not correct:

 ![image](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/6/06faa29543bd18ae78dd82e7fad9224e4ac3140c.png)

The correct valid from dates for each certificate are:  
\*\*Content Marketing = June 17, 2026  
Digital Marketing = June 18, 2026  
Email Marketing = July 1, 2026  
Social Media Marketing = July 13, 2026  
Inbound Marketing = August 18, 2026  
\*\*  
Also, I am not able to open any of them, except _Digital Marketing Certificate (which has a new design but wrong validity dates + not whole text is visible)_ at the moment and I already have tried to sign out and sign in several times.

If needed I can provide the original certificates I have downloaded with the correct validity dates.

Hello @chighsmith, it has been almost two months and my certificates are still not updated correctly on my profile - I’d need them to have updated as they’re very important to me in my current job hunting. Can you provide me details when the certificates could be updated?

I’m having a similar issue with my renewed Digital Marketing certificate. It shows I passed the exam but the dates on my certificate are incorrect and do not reflect the recertification. I tried logging out, clearing my cache and using a completely different device but no change ☹
