Certificate facts

Does an AgentProof certificate expire?

No. An AgentProof certificate does not expire. It keeps the date you earned it and the level you earned. There is no renewal fee. Recheck is optional: about 3 minutes, one live task from your results. A good recheck sets Last checked on the same certificate and the same verify URL. It never raises or lowers your level.

What "does not expire" means

Once you earn a level, that certificate stays valid. Hiring managers and clients can open your verify link months later and still see a genuine result.

What they see on that page: how verify works. What the credential is: What is an AI skills certificate?.

What the verify page shows

  • Earned {date} for that certificate
  • Last checked {date}, only if a recheck has passed since you earned it
  • Your level for that earned certificate

There is no public history of prior levels. Viewers do not see old scores stacked under the current one.

What recheck does (and does not do)

Start recheck from your results (renew / recheck). It is not a full assessment.

On a good recheck (pass):

  • Sets Last checked on the same certificate and the same verify URL
  • Leaves your earned date and level unchanged

On a weak recheck:

  • Nothing changes on the verify page
  • Wait 24 hours before you try again

Recheck never:

  • Moves your level up or down
  • Changes the date you earned the certificate
  • Creates a second public badge or a level history list
  • Replaces a full assessment (about 15 minutes). Full timing: How long does an AgentProof assessment take?

If you want a higher level

Recheck will not raise your level. Take the full assessment with a new invite. That issues a new certificate ID and a new verify URL (`/v/{id}`). Your old verify URL stays as it was unless you hide it from your results page. Hide and share: How to share your AgentProof verify link. Scoring for a full run: How scoring works.

Why recheck anyway

Use recheck when:

  • You want a newer Last checked date on the verify page
  • A hiring process or client asks for a recent check
  • You want to confirm you can still pass a live task with the tools you use today

What does not disappear

  • Your certificate ID and public verify link stay shareable (unless you hide the page)
  • LinkedIn certification entries you added stay under your control on LinkedIn
  • Team leads still see totals only on private team reports when people finish. Detail: What is a private team AI report?
