Certification is valid for a three-year period from the date of certification indicated on your certificate; your current three-year cycle dates can also be viewed in your online account. Submit the CITP Recertification Application form via your online account at least sixty days before your three-year certification period expires. As part of the recertification process, you will need to confirm that your annual CITP dues have been paid and that your certification remains valid and in good standing. Outstanding annual CITP dues will need to be paid in advance of submitting the online recertification form.

Recertification is mandatory for all certificants. If you do not successfully recertify by your expiration date you are no longer certified. If certification is not renewed it will expire on the last day of the month three years after the certification was last earned. Once your certification has expired or been suspended or revoked you may not represent yourself as certified and may not use the credential until you receive official notice that the recertification requirements have been satisfied or that certification status has been reinstated. 

If certification has been expired for 365 days or less, you may reinstate by meeting all of the recertification requirements, submitting a complete recertification application, and paying all outstanding CITP required annual dues. If the application is approved, your expiration date for the reinstated credential will be the same as if the certification had been renewed on time.

If certification has been expired for more than 365 days, you must reapply for certification, meet all eligibility requirements in effect at the time of re-application, and pass the examination.
