A revoked status means AWS has canceled or withdrawn your AWS Certified Database – Specialty certification after it was issued, typically due to ethical, compliance, or exam integrity violations. When your certification is revoked, you are no longer recognized as an AWS Certified Database – Specialty professional and cannot claim or use the credential until the issue is formally resolved with AWS.
Reasons an AWS Certified Database – Specialty Certification Can Be Revoked
Ethics or Code of Conduct Violation
AWS may revoke the credential if a certified individual violates the AWS Certification Code of Conduct, including dishonesty, misconduct, or professional misrepresentation.
Fraudulent Information
Providing falsified or misleading information during registration, recertification, or the exam process can result in immediate cancellation of the DBS-C01 certification.
Cheating or Exam Misconduct
Actions such as sharing or using unauthorized exam content, impersonation, using prohibited materials, or violating AWS exam security rules may lead to certification revocation.
Failure to Maintain Certification
If the certificate holder does not complete the required recertification process within the three-year validity period, or does not meet AWS continuing certification requirements, the DBS-C01 credential can be removed.
Non-Compliance With AWS Policies
Ignoring AWS compliance requests—such as verification checks, identity validation, documentation audits, or security inquiries—may result in the certification being withdrawn.
