Your certification expires one year from the date it was issued and you become eligible for recertification six months before your certification expiry date.

You have two options to recertify during this period:

Option 1: Publish three effects.

If you choose to recertify by publishing three effects, your effects must meet the following requirements:

• The effects must be published by the Facebook profile that you use to log into Meta Spark Hub. This should be the same Facebook profile that you use for single sign-on (SSO) to your CertMetrics account. Effects published by Instagram or business accounts do not qualify for recertification. To switch to your Facebook profile, from the Meta Spark Hub profile menu, select Switch owner and select your Facebook profile.
• The effects must be published within your recertification period. Your recertification period is the six months before your certification expiry date. For example, if your certification expires on 31 December 2023, your recertification period is 1 July 2023 to 31 December 2023.
• At least one of your effects must be a world effect that uses plane tracker or target tracker.
• The effects must only be created by you, not in collaboration with others.
• As with all effects, the effects must comply with Meta Spark Policies.

Once three qualifying effects have been published, your certification status will be automatically updated. Please allow up to 48 hours after publishing your effects for your certification status to be updated. You will receive a recertification confirmation email.
