recertification
Credential validity extension
Recertification is the process of renewing a certification that has expired or is about to expire.
Professional credentials often require periodic recertification to ensure skills remain current: Nurses must complete continuing education hours for recertification.
The term applies to licenses, safety training, equipment inspections, and other contexts where validity is time-limited.
