Checklist for Renewal

Those who apply and submit a complete renewal package later than the date of the expiration of their current designation or submit an incomplete renewal package and do not submit the additional documentation prior to the expiration deadline are subject to a late fee, added to the renewal fee.  If more than one year has elapsed since expiration the applicant will be subject to reinstatement fee in addition to renewal fee.

If more than one year has elapsed since expiration, the applicant must submit a complete application as if applying for the first time.  In some cases, exceptions may be made because of hardship, but certified persons must notify the Association of the hardship at the time it occurs, rather than waiting until the grace period has elapsed.
