How can I renew my lapsed credential? What happens if I miss the grace period for renewal?

Modified on Wed, May 6 at 1:06 PM


If you are unable to submit your credential renewal application by its expiration date, ICF provides a two-month grace period during which time your credential will remain active.   


However, if you are unable to submit your credential renewal application by the end of the grace period your credential will lapse, and you will not hold an active credential. 

However, you will still have an additional 10 months to renew your your credential up to one year from the expiration date, but you will be required to pay a $100 USD late fee.
