It doesn’t remove them under the Archived tab even when you click on the Certify and Start Certification buttons and complete the “recertification”.

I believe as long as it says you’ve completed it when you click on start verification…..it’s technically cleared.
Again, when I did it the first time, it said to put in a valid drivers license expiration date because mine had expired a month or two ago. So if I go to start verification now, it says I’ve verified. That wasn’t the message I got when I did it the first time.
Also, one of those messages went into open after I opened it. It started giving me the account deactivation email, too. I believe it was due to that July 25 after I pressed start verification for the first time. It then went back into archived once they approved my new drivers license.

Unless I miss my guess - which, as we all well know, is NEVER out of the realm of possibility 
(just ask the better ½ if’n ya don’t believe me) - nothing that anyone who’s NOT enrolled for selling in the Europe Regional Marketplace is likely to have any effect on changing this status.
Ay, there’s the rub.
MANY are the Amazon GEIs (“Global Expansion Initiative”[s]) that have plagued the Amazon Seller Community over the last dozen years or so.
There’s a reason why I’ve yet to allow any of our employees who are tasked with handling matters of compliance to engage with the relatively-new ‘archived’ tab of the Product Policy Compliance Dashboard (link, Seller Central, simplified) - to be fair, there’s actually more than a singular reason why I locked down that ability on our Enterprise Domain’s workstations as soon as I confirmed that our friend @Dreamscape-Studio’s upthread post of 081524 was reproducible for our SoA Accounts.
I’m in agreement with our friends Jenga & Gamis:

IMO this is just another busted Amazon system.
Every single seller in the universe has this on their “Archived” warning list. I’d be more concerned about the sun falling out of space than anything happening with this.

Fresh from our SAS rep:
I spoke with my Point of Contact from Account Health and the feedback they gave me is that the people that manages Seller Central made a new UX on the page and moved things around a bit. It can be a bit confusing, but as long as it’s in archived, there wouldn’t be a problem. If action had to be taken with Inform or verification, you would see an “account at risk” banner and also a priority action on the account health dashboard.
So no action needed from your side.

Your SAS rep beat mine.
I never touched anything in archive for fear that it would actually eff something up which is typical Amazon

Meh, I guess that’s half right.
Again, ours was in archived until we hit the start verification thing and then it moved into open and we got the banners about deactivation.

Just got back a response from our SAS manager - screenshot below. That archived section for policy violations is Fake News…

Is there any way to add an emoji that shows us wanting to jump off a bridge?
Just asking for a friend…

I went back to this section again tonight just for kicks and I see they have updated the archived section with a heading that says “next steps” and they all say “no action required.”
This is what they should have done originally…
