PMI Membership renewal

 Hi all,

I got my PMP certification about a month back and I just realized that my PMI membership is about to expire soon. 

I would like to know if I need to renew it every year in order to maintain my PMP Certification and get the PDU or if this is not required? I mean if I will still be able to use my online account and claim PDUs.

Thanks and regards,

Robert 

 PMI membership is not prerequisite for PMP.

Yo can maintain your PMP certification without having a PMI membership
