My CCNP just expired  September 2, 2004. Will passing any CCIE test
recertify my CCNP?

Subject: Passing CCIE written now recertifies CCNP/DP/IP...
  Just got this from Cisco...I know there has been a lot of  talk about
this recently.  I am glad because my CCNP expires in May and my CCIE
written expires in August.  I didn't want to deal with the composite
exam.

CISCO RECERTIFICATION POLICY UPDATE
Cisco is pleased to announce that effective October 1, 2004, passing 
any CCIE written exam will recertify any associate-level, 
professional-level and Cisco Qualified Specialist certification. The
policy to have 
CCIE written exams count towards recertifying other certifications will 
offer candidates the opportunity to pursue lifelong learning while 
ensuring that existing certifications remain current. Besides adding the
CCIE written exam option, some other recent updates to the
recertification 
policy include:
Candidates can now recertify the CCNP and/or CCDP certification, either 
by passing the 642-891 Composite exam, or by passing both the 642-801 
BSCI and 642-811 BCMSN exams, or by passing a CCIE written exam.
Candidates can now recertify the CCIP certification, either by passing 
the 642-691 BGP+MPLS exam, or by passing both the 642-661 BGP and 
642-611 MPLS exams, or by passing a CCIE written exam.
Candidates can now recertify the CCNA and/or CCDA certification either 
by passing the current exam for that certification, or by passing any 
642 level professional or specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist), 
or by passing a CCIE written exam.

recertification should monitor this site for ongoing news on 
recertification. For individual questions and queries, please use the
