The recertification term is the period of time between passing the CPP®, PCI®, or PSP® examination, and the deadline for submitting sufficient credits to recertify. This is three years for the CPP® and PCI®, and two years for the PSP®. Please also keep in mind that recertification terms always expire at the end of the year. For example, a CPP® who passed the exam in April of 2001 would have until December 31, 2004 to submit the full number of credits.
How often should I report my recertification activities?
At the very least, you must report your activities by the end of your recertification period. We recommend, however, that you report your activities as often as possible.
What are some examples of educational recertification activities?
There are various categories, which fall under educational programs, for earning recertification credits. When preparing your professional development schedule, here are a few options to keep in mind:
Chapter meeting attendance - That meet educatonal requirements
Virtual forums
Seminar/Conference attendance
Membership in security or business management-related organization
Public service
Author of a book or article
You're probably already engaged in many of the above activities, but also remember that credits can be claimed for attending or speaking/teaching at security specific seminars, workshops and academic courses. Even certification program services such as participating in a job analysis or Pass Point study can build your credits. As long as your activity can be related to the respective study domain for your certification program, chances are you are earning your credits. When in doubt, submit a description of your activities to the recertification staff at

or you may view the online credit guides at www.asisonline.org/certification/recertification.htm. Please see the links under the FAQ "How do I determine which certification is best for me?" for the domains of study.
I've let my certification lapse. What can I do now?
If it has been less than one year since the deadline for recertification, you may take advantage of the grace period.
Between January 1st and June 30th of the year following the recertification term, a total of seventeen credits and a $90.00 fee is required to reinstate the CPP® designation (one additional credit and a $30.00 late fee); a total of eighteen credits and a $90.00 fee is required (two additional credits and a $30.00 late fee) between July 1st and December 31st. (Non-member late fee is $110.00.) Recertification after a lapse of twelve months or more will require completing the full examination process.
Are ASIS-related activities automatically reported?
All activities related to ASIS International's headquarters are automatically reported. This includes the credits you receive for membership, attendance at the annual Seminar, volunteer positions, and so on. Activities at the chapter-level of ASIS may not be automatically reported, however.
Please note that ASIS-related activities have only been automatically reported since 2002. If you have any unreported activities from 2001, please make sure to submit them.
Can I submit my activities online?
CPPs® can submit their credits through the online credit submission form. PCIs® and PSPs® can download a credit submission form and submit it via email, fax, or mail. All of these resources are available in the recertification section of the site.
Do I need to submit a separate recertification form for my CPP®, PSP® or PCI® recertification?
Yes. If you hold more than one ASIS certification, you will need to submit recertification credits separately for each certification. This is true even if some or all of your activities qualify for credit under more than one certification.
