What are IBC’s policies regarding recertification and inactive status dates, late fees, etc.?
All applications for recertification, and letters of request for inactive status, must be postmarked on or before the date of expiration that is shown on the certificate or on the verification letter of inactive status. If it is postmarked after that date and within 45 days, the $100.00 late fee is due. All certified professionals—and those on inactive status—are given a maximum of 45 days after their expiration date to complete the recertification process (or request inactive status); if this is not done within that time frame, certification is considered expired, and the entire application process must start over again if the professional wishes to become certified again.
