The AZ-900 certificate and your exam records are permanently linked to the Microsoft account used during registration. Pearson VUE can only confirm that you took the exam; they cannot issue the certificate. To resolve account association issues, you must work directly with Microsoft Certification Support.
Go to the Microsoft Certification Support forum at https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/newthread?threadtype=Questions&forum=mcp.
Sign in using a different, active Microsoft account so you can post your question to the support community.
Create a new thread stating you cannot access your certification account. Include your exam date, registration email, Pearson VUE appointment details, and score information.
A forum moderator will reply to your thread and initiate a private message. Provide any requested verification details securely in the private message to recover your profile.
