Inquiry Regarding CIS-Discovery (CIS-DF) Voucher Availability / Extension

[JatothSujit]

Hi team,

I was planning to register for the Certified Implementation Specialist – Discovery (CIS-DF) exam under the recent free voucher promotion that concluded on June 30, 2026. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline, and the registration is currently showing the standard fee of $225 USD.

Could anyone kindly advise if there are any active promotions, discount codes, or if the free voucher window has been extended? Any guidance on how to obtain a voucher for this certification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Hi @JatothSujit ,

There will be no further extension for the free CIS - DF certification. ServiceNow had already announced that the certification would be available free of charge only until 30 June.

If you did not complete your registration by 30 June, you are no longer eligible for the free exam. Going forward, you will need to either:

• Use a certification voucher provided by your company (if your company is a ServiceNow Partner and offers vouchers), or
• Pay the exam fee yourself.

Additionally, if you do not complete the CIS - DF exam before 31 December 2026, your prerequisite certification will expire, and you may need to meet the prerequisite requirements again before taking the exam.

Hi @JatothSujit 

Hey, just a heads-up—if you're not working with a partner company, you'll need to pay for the exam now. The registration deadline for the DF exam was 30 June, which you've already missed. As a result, there will be a late registration fee.

However, there may be a campaign or promotion running that could allow you to take the exam for free, so it's worth checking that out.

Free Exam Registration Offer

Candidates who hold one or more of the seven IT CIS certifications above are eligible to take the CIS – DF (CMDB and CSDM) exam at no cost, if they register on or before December 31, 2026. After registering, candidates have 90 days to schedule and complete the exam. This offer applies to first attempts only.

If a candidate has not earned the CIS-DF certification by 12/31/26, their existing implementation specialist certification(s) within ITAM, ITOM, ITSM, etc. will expire - even if they have a CIS-DF exam scheduled in 2027.

No exceptions or complimentary exam attempts will be granted after December 31, 2026.

Hi @JatothSujit 

If you have not registered by 30th June 2026, Then you have to pay the exam fee.

There no voucher concept anymore.

Note: Check with your organization/project  (if they are Servicenow's partner company) leadership whether they have any discount coupon(voucher in that sense)  for their employee. Talk to your organization.

As of late 2025, ServiceNow has replaced the Webassessor platform with  Pearson Vue and removed the traditional voucher system, rendering old or unused vouchers invalid.

Exam registration is now handled directly through Now Learning/Servicenow University, where you have to pay  $450 USD +tax .Refer:Cost of Mainline certification exams

Note : if you take Retake exam - then fee is $ 225USD  . Refer: 2026 exam vouchers, courses, exams & retakes

You need to register the exam via Pearson Vue from ServiceNow University. If you are not working with a partner company, you will need to pay for CIS  $450 plus taxes,
