REMINDER: PCB no longer issues paper certificates to those that are re-certifying their credential(s). If you would like a paper certificate, you must notate (by checking the appropriate box on the application) that on the application and pay the $20.00 fee per certificate, per credential. (So, if you are re-certifying multiple credentials at the same time and you click the "yes" box to receive a paper certificate, there will be a $20.00 fee per paper certificate, per credential re-certified.)
As of January 1, 2026:
- There will no longer be a “lapsed” status. Credentials will either be in active or expired status.
- You may re-certify within the first six (6) months of the expired status. After the first six months, you must re-apply for the credential.
- You will need to contact PCB for the re-application if your credential is expired.
