# Retiring Certificates

A Retirement Account is a repository for M-RETS Certificates that the Organization wants to designate as retired for an environmental claim.
M-RETS Certificates in a Retirement Account are no longer transferable and serve as an electronic proof of retirement. M-RETS is not responsible for ensuring that Users retire RECs for voluntary or compliance purposes. M-RETS requires all Users to initiate and complete all retirements. Please notify M-RETS if you would like to add a new type of voluntary or compliance retirement reason.

I don't think the screenshots of the "Retire" button (or the "Review" button from the later step) without any context is as helpful as pointing to the button on the screen.
