These are certificates created as part of a check-in or pre-arrival workflow.</p>\n<p>If your organisation has set this up, EVA may ask you to renew a certificate when it is close to expiring or has expired.</p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pm\">How certificate renewal works</h2>\n<p>When renewal is available, EVA Check-in will send you to the certificate-related part of the workflow instead of making you complete the full process again.</p>\n<p>This means you may only need to review or answer the screens linked to that certificate.</p>\n<p>Your renewal experience depends on how the organisation has set up:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the certificate</li>\n<li>the related process screens</li>\n<li>your permissions</li>\n</ul>\n<p>For example, some screens may appear again, while others may stay pre-filled or hidden.</p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pn\">Renew in the EVA mobile app</h2>\n<p>You can renew in the EVA mobile app if your organisation has granted you the&nbsp;<strong>Certificate Renewal</strong>&nbsp;permission.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5po\">Renew in the app</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the EVA Check-in mobile app.</li>\n<li>Navigate to the Cerificates tab. Any certificates available for renewal will have the Renew button. This button is visible from 14 days before the certificate expires.</li>\n<li>Select&nbsp;<strong>Renew</strong>.</li>\n<li>Complete the certificate steps shown in the app.</li>\n<li>Submit your renewal.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><img src=\"https://portal.helpfruit.com/api/images/5011149bf4b549fdca2008d81d82c9c1/files/Renew%20certificates%20in-app.jpeg?width=&amp;height=1000\"></p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pp\">If you cannot see the Renew button</h3>\n<p>You may need to complete a one-time device verification before the&nbsp;<strong>Renew</strong>&nbsp;button appears.</p>\n<p>The organisation must also:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>enable visitor renewal for that certificate</li>\n<li>grant you the&nbsp;<strong>Certificate Renewal</strong>&nbsp;permission</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you still cannot see&nbsp;<strong>Renew</strong>, it may be too early to renew. For more information, contact the site or&nbsp;organisation you are visiting.</p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pq\">Renew from a link or email</h2>\n<p>If you do not have in-app renewal permission, you may still be able to renew a certificate using a link sent by the&nbsp;organisation you are visiting.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pr\">Renew from a message</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the renewal email, SMS, Teams message, or other notification you receive.</li>\n<li>Select the renewal link.</li>\n<li>Complete the renewal steps in your browser.</li>\n<li>Submit your renewal.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5ps\">What you may see during renewal</h2>\n<p>Certificate renewal does not always look the same for every visitor.</p>\n<p>Depending on how the certificate and process have been set up, you may see:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>one or more certificate-related screens</li>\n<li>fields that are already completed</li>\n<li>questions you need to answer again</li>\n<li>steps that are skipped because they are already covered by a valid certificate</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This is expected behaviour.</p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pt\">Troubleshooting</h2>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pu\">I cannot renew my certificate</h3>\n<p>This can happen if:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>your certificate is not close to expiry yet</li>\n<li>your certificate is not set up for visitor renewal</li>\n<li>your certificate is a manual certificate</li>\n<li>you do not have the required in-app permission</li>\n<li>your organisation needs to review part of your renewal</li>\n<li>you need to complete device verification first</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you are not sure which applies, contact the organisation you're visiting.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5pv\">I cannot see the Renew button in the app</h3>\n<p>Check that:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>you are using the current version of the EVA Check-in mobile app</li>\n<li>you have completed any required device verification</li>\n<li>your organisation has granted you the&nbsp;<strong>Certificate Renewal</strong>&nbsp;permission</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If the button still does not appear, use the renewal link you were sent, or contact the site or organisation for help.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5q0\">Why do I have to answer some questions again?</h3>\n<p>Your organisation decides which screens are included in the certificate and how those screens behave during renewal.</p>\n<p>That means some information may be reused, while other questions may need to be answered again.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jlqqk7nr5q1\">I renewed my certificate, but I still need help</h3>\n<p>If your renewal has not updated as expected, contact the site or organisation that requested it.
