This question already has an answer here:

Out of the blue, HR suddenly sent a message to everyone to share their education credentials (degrees/certs) ASAP for the "gathering employment data"

Is there any way to tell what prompted the request? Is this kind of request common and is it a cause for concern?

The only way to know for sure is to ask HR. This kind of request is fairly common, especially in consulting companies, but there are many reasons why they could be asking. In consultancies it would be a sign that there's an important bid coming up where they want to get the right certificates lined up. In other companies it could be for some other strategic decision. The fact that it's urgent tells you something but not a lot.

Not many, if any, of the possible reasons should be a cause for concern unless you lied about your education or certification. RichardU raised the possibility of a reorganization which would be a cause for concern but I wouldn't expect this kind of request in such a situation.
