Does MCSA: SQL Server 2012 require recertification?

As I can see in Microsoft.com, I can see that Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) and Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) require recertification in every 2 or 3 years. However I cannot see any article mentions the recertification of Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA).

Anyone know does MCSA: SQL Server 2012 require recertification? Thanks.

According to the FAQs on https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sql-server.aspx it looks like any "versioned" certifications do not require recertification, that's my understanding of it anyway:

Q. Why don't the MCSE certification titles include a version number?

A.
Certifications that require recertification are not "versioned" in the sense that they do not reference a product version in the certification name and may cover multiple versions of the technology.
