New expiration dates will affect all PMPs as PMI is changing all credential holders' expiration dates. Instead of everyone expiring on December 31st of a given year the anniversary date of when they actually earned their credential will now become their expiration date.
PMI is dedicated to maintaining and administering world-class credentials on behalf of the global project management profession. As the number of Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential holders grows every year, the Institute assesses its processes and systems so it can better serve credential holders.
Many credential holders are aware of the large volume of renewals that PMI processes at the end of each year. To better meet customer needs, PMI will change and spread out all PMP credential holders' expiration dates. Currently, all credential holders expire on 31 December of the third year after they earn the credential. Credential holders will be assigned new expiration dates that correspond with the anniversary dates of when their credentials were earned. The result will be a simplification of the PMP certification cycle.
The transition to the new system will begin taking place in late August 2008. Current PMP credential holders will have months added to their renewal cycle based on the anniversary of their earning the credential; no one will have time taken away. The chart below illustrates how the transition will work. Substitute your own credentialing anniversary date for the one shown on the chart. This date can be found on your PMP certificate:

By late August, you will be able to view your new expiration date online at PMI.org when you log in as a user. You will also receive a series of communications from PMI over the next several months that will provide information and guidance on this change. These communications will include an e-mail by July and also again by September 2008 indicating your new expiration date and, by October 2008, a new PMP certificate printed with your new expiration date will be sent to you via postal mail.
The actual renewal process for PMP credential holders is not affected by the change of expiration dates. To maintain your PMP credential before your expiration date, you are still required to:
-
Earn and report a minimum of 60 professional development units (PDUs);
-
Complete the renewal process that includes submitting your application for renewal and a renewal fee via the online certification system.
