Yes, I believe they expire after three years. Any professional-level certification exam will renew your CCNA for another three years.

Like Paul said, every 3 years

CCNA Recertification

CCNA certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, either pass the current CCNA exam, or pass the ICND2 exam, or pass any 642 professional level or Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams), or pass a current CCIE written exam.

within the CCNA period, plus a test for the 642 code beginning of the examination (CCNP exam is beginning to 642), it can automatically refresh period to the date of Xinkao. However, if after a CCNA valid, it must be re-CCNA exam.

Uh? Xinkao?

I believe what crystalym is trying to say is this:

Once you achieve your CCNA you have 3 years until this expires. Now if you were to pass an exam for the CCNP track, then it would automatically re-certify your CCNA for another 3 years on the date that you passed one of the CCNP tests.

If I'm wrong please correct me but this is what I remember.
