recertify
Confirm qualifications again
To recertify is to certify again—renewing a credential, license, or qualification that has expired or is about to expire.
Professional certifications often require periodic recertification to ensure skills remain current: Nurses must recertify every two years.
The process typically involves continuing education, testing, or documentation of ongoing practice.
