You
will be notified in the event that we are unable to process your
application
due to missing information.
Annual Renewal
To
be completed annually prior to your Registry certificate expiration
date. You will be sent a reminder to renew/update your file with
the Registry and asked to complete an update form at that time. After
your information is updated, you will receive a new certificate
indicating your Career Ladder level that will be in affect for 12 months.*
Please keep in mind
that updating
your career development file is SIMPLE! The form consists of
several basic pages reflecting the personal and employment information
that the Registry currently has on file. If the information that
we have on file has
changed, you are asked to provide updated information. Otherwise,
it is simply a matter of checking a few boxes. You are also asked to
submit copies of any certificates for additional training taken and
transcripts
for college courses/degrees completed.
This documentation is important because it could result in a change
in your Career Ladder placement. It is also another way for the Registry
to keep backup copies of your completed educational and professional
accomplishments should you ever need to replace lost or misplaced documentation. Click here to download the Renewal Form.
* At
this time, the Registry issues certificates on an annual basis. Please
be sure to submit ALL required documentation at the time of your initial
application and renewal. Certificates will not be re-issued
due to a lack of documentation at the time of application.
You should receive your certificate within 4-6 weeks if all required documentation is included in your application and/or renewal.
