When Does Your PMP® Certification Expire?
PMP certification follows a three-year renewal cycle. If you have not previously renewed, this PMP Expiry Checker estimates your certification cycle from the date you first passed the PMP exam. PMI currently requires PMP holders to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) during each three-year cycle to maintain certification. Your PMI account remains the authoritative source for your actual certification status and renewal date.
How the PMP Expiry Checker Calculates Your Expiration Date
If you have not previously renewed your PMP certification, the first certification cycle is tied to the date you earned the credential. As a planning shortcut, this checker projects the relevant three-year cycle from the date you enter.
Example: If your first PMP certification date was January 15, 2024, a three-year planning cycle would point to January 15, 2027. This is an estimate for planning—not a replacement for the renewal date shown in your PMI account.
| First PMP date | Estimated three-year cycle end |
|---|---|
| January 15, 2024 | January 15, 2027 |
| March 10, 2023 | March 10, 2026 |
| September 1, 2022 | September 1, 2025 |
Important:Â Previous renewals, suspension status, and individual PMI records can affect what applies to you. Always verify your current status and renewal date in your PMI account.

What Happens If Your PMP Certification Expires?
PMI distinguishes between active, suspended, and expired certification status.
Active
If you satisfy the CCR requirements, including earning and reporting the required PDUs and completing renewal before the cycle end date, PMI considers the certification active.
Suspended
If you do not renew your PMP within the active cycle, PMI places the certification into suspended status. PMI’s current handbook states that the suspension period lasts 12 months.
Expired
If you do not complete the renewal process during the suspension period, PMI says the certification moves to expired status. For guidance on the next steps, please contact support@gururo.com immediately.
Important:Â During suspension, PMI states that you may not refer to yourself as a certification holder or use the certification designation. Check PMI’s current CCR handbook for the exact rules that apply to your situation.
