A computable structure $\mathcal{A}$ has degree of categoricity $\mathbf{d}$ if $\mathbf{d}$ is exactly the degree of difficulty of computing isomorphisms between isomorphic computable copies of $\mathcal{A}$. Fokina, Kalimullin, and Miller showed that every degree d.c.e. in and above $\mathbf{0}^{(n)}$, for any $n < \omega$, and also the degree $\mathbf{0}^{(\omega)}$, are degrees of categoricity. Later, Csima, Franklin, and Shore showed that every degree $\mathbf{0}^{(\alpha)}$ for any computable ordinal $\alpha$, and every degree d.c.e. in and above $\mathbf{0}^{(\alpha)}$ for any successor ordinal $\alpha$, is a degree of categoricity. We show that every degree c.e. in and above $\mathbf{0}^{(\alpha)}$, for $\alpha$ a limit ordinal, is a degree of categoricity. We also show that every degree c.e. in and above $\mathbf{0}^{(\omega)}$ is the degree of categoricity of a prime model, making progress towards a question of Bazhenov and Marchuk.
