Andrea,
Does the member status of CISSP Retired still exist?
If so, where on the (ISC)2 web site is there any information about it?
When I search the www.isc2.org site for the bundled term "CISSP Retired" or just the word "retired" the only search results shown are courses offered by (ISC)2, but no pages on the site. [Please note this as an apparent shortcoming of the site search feature.]
Before the end of this year I must decide whether to continue full certification, allow my certification to lapse and thus resign my (ISC)2 membership, or (if it is still available) move to a CISSP Retired to retain membership.
Using Google to search for
site://www.isc2.org "CISSP Retired"
results in the page
https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP/CISSP-Retired
However, I cannot trust that page as current since it is not obviously linked on the main site pages, and has no currency or last-updated date on the page. Further, I have learned that most large websites leave expired pages available that can be found by a Google site search, but are no longer valid. Thus, it is not reasonable to trust as currently valid pages found via Google without confirmation through that site's own search or link structure.
Thanks,
Craig
p.s. Please note the conundrum discussed during 2019 in the thread
Retired CISSP - Problematic Requirement
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will look at that 2019 thread as well.
Here is the official Retired Status page under Member Policies. Click on the Retired Status policy at the bottom.

Let me know if any further questions that I can look into.
Take care,
Andrea

Andrea,
Thank you for the quick response.
Here are added observations to help your research:
1. Finding the page you linked is non-trivial and definitely non-intuitive. Recalling that a site search does not lead to it, here are the steps I had to trace to find it after seeing your link:
a. Link to the home page, www.isc2.org
scroll to the very bottom to click on Quicklinks - Policies and Procedures
b. Click on
(This gets to the page you linked).
2. Going to the information page I had found using the external Google search,
https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP/CISSP-Retired
you will see a linking line
Download the CISSP Retired Status Application Form
but clicking there leads to a file-not-found page,
which indicates that info page is, as I had been concerned, no longer current or valid.
Good luck, and stay healthy!

I recently had a conversation about the retired status policy and it reminded me to report back to you all here.
Retired status is specifically for those members who are no longer employed/in a contract position for monetary gain. You may still practice in the sense of volunteering, participate in forums like this Community, educate yourself/others, etc. If you have further questions regarding your specific situation, please contact member support at https://www.isc2.org/Contact-Us.
To find more information regarding retirement, I've included these steps:
Thanks for the clarification (at least for me).
I was unclear on the topic of Blogging, chatting in the Community and mentoring.

(ISC)² Retired Status is now officially (ISC)² Emeritus Status.
The updated policy is located here titled “(ISC)² Emeritus Status Policy” https://www.isc2.org/Policies-Procedures/Member-Policies and is also available on the Member Resources page (behind member login).
The policy explains the process and requirements for obtaining Member Emeritus designation. If you have further questions that are not answered in the policy, you may email membersupport@isc2.org.
