To apply for recertification:

• Complete the recertification application by logging into the credential management system.
• Enter the username (email address on file with CLP, Inc.) and password.
• For assistance with login information, use the Forgot Password or Reset Password links on the login screen.
• Submit the application at least one month prior to the expiration date to allow time for application processing and approval.
• Candidates may access the system throughout the certification cycle to track continuing professional development activity. A certificant will enter his/her continuing professional development credits. Once the appropriate number of continuing professional development credits is entered, the certificant can proceed to the attestation statement and to update/confirm participation in the online registry. Candidates who submit the application early may carry over these credits into the next three year renewal period. 
• The final step is to submit the recertification fee.
• Once all application steps are complete, including the application payment, the application will enter the queue for review by CLP. A green status circle for each application step indicates all required steps are completed and the application submitted for review. 
• The application will not be processed, and certification renewal will not be awarded, until all sections are complete, and the application fee is paid. Partial or incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Recertification Application Tips

• To enter continuing professional development credits, select the professional development category from the drop-down list.
• Select the provider from the drop-down list, if applicable. If the provider of the continuing professional development course/activity is not included in the dropdown list, select Other and then enter the provider's name in the Other Provider field.
• Enter the provider, course/event/activity name, credit hours, and brief description/other information as detailed in the CLP Recertification Policy for each continuing professional development activity.
• Individuals should self-report the educationally-focused credits earned for each continuing professional development activity in the credit hours field.
• There is no requirement to attach documentation or proof of attendance at education events or background information. However, CLP, Inc. reserves the right to request and audit documentation confirming the information submitted on each application.
