ISO 27001 re-certification
My registrar is telling me I have to have my recertification in December. My ISO cert will expire on Feb 13, 2021. We don't want an audit in the middle of the holidays due to limited availability (so much vacation). Why does it have to be two months prior if my cert is good through February?

Due to accreditation bodies definition, certifications bodies must conclude the re-certification process before the expiration date. If it is not concluded by this date, the certification will expire and the organization will have to start the certification process all over again (i.e. it will lose its certificate number).
Considering that, certification bodies recommend the re-certification audit to be performed on a date that will give time for organizations to handle the event they don’t pass the renewal audit (e.g., because of a major non-conformity). This date is normally tow at most months before the expiration date.
