# Retirement Certification

## Individual/Entity Credit Retirement

Credit retirement certification will draw from your user profile information by default. You may still want to include these details in the Retirement Note field to later view in a block explorer, like Mintscan. However, a credit retirement note is not required for in-app certification.

Retired ecocredits can also be viewed from [your portfolio](https://app.regen.network/ecocredits/portfolio) in the [Regen Marketplace app](https://app.regen.network/). You can [customize your user profile on Regen Marketplace](/guides/regen-app-project-developers-and-land-stewards/logging-in.md) to include your name/organization, a description, and links to your website and Twitter. Images may be added to further customize profile.&#x20;

## Third Party Credit Retirement

In order to retire ecocredits on behalf of a third party, the Retirement Note field must be filled out with the details of that individual or organization.&#x20;

### Example Third Party Credit Retirement Notes

* Offsetting 7% of Regen Networks historical carbon emissions
* ecoToken Carbon Neutrality
* Retired by Techstars to offset conference travel for staff
* Credit Retirement Recognition for the Earth Regenerators Fund (via Vivero)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.regen.network/guides/regen-marketplace-buyers-guides/ecocredits/retire-ecocredits/retirement-certification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
