I totally let my exam renewals slip through the cracks! I missed the AZ-305 by just two days, even though I know I had six months to renew. I also missed another exam. I definitely should've set up a forward on my mailbox. Now I'm wondering if there are any options besides having to retake the exams. Maybe I should just focus on other certifications instead, especially since my employer isn't fussed about the renewals.

If your employer doesn't mind about the renewal, I'd say just move on to other exams. I only renew mine if it’s necessary; there are always new certifications popping up that are more relevant.
I totally get that! I don't always get renewal emails either; they don’t even show up in my junk folder. What I do is set up yearly recurring appointments on my calendar to get notifications for important renewals.
Unfortunately, it looks like your only option is to retake the exam. There's no workaround for missing the renewal.
Good point! The cert landscape is changing so fast with all these AI-related certifications and things like AKS that I've been procrastinating on.
