My Inbound Mkt certificate expires in a week. What is the process to renew my certification? Is it to simply re-take the same test I took a year ago? Some other path? Please advise.

Hello @GGrillon, thank you for posting in our Community!

You can retake the exam before your certification expires. Once you retake the exam, the certification will be valid again. I want to share this knowledge base with more information about the [Validity period of HubSpot Certifications.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/resources/how-long-does-my-certification-badge-last)

Kindly,

Pam
