What must the certificate holder do for certification renewal?

For certification renewal, the certificate holder must meet specific requirements, submit an application, and pay the necessary fees. This process ensures that the individual remains in good standing and continues to meet the professional standards set by regulatory authorities.

Meeting the requirements typically involves fulfilling continuing education credits or professional development activities to stay current in the field. By submitting an application along with the renewal fee, the individual actively engages in maintaining their certification, demonstrating their commitment to professional growth and adherence to the ethical standards expected of fiduciaries.

This multifaceted approach contrasts with options that oversimplify the process, such as only paying fees or submitting a completely new application, neither of which captures the comprehensive nature of certification maintenance. Waiting for the board to initiate contact for renewal is also not an appropriate course of action, as it places the responsibility on the regulatory body rather than the certificate holder.
