Your CRNFA® recertification application deadline is July 1, of the year you are due to recertify. Your application must be postmarked on or before July 1, of your recertification year, to avoid a $75 late fee.

Applications postmarked July 2 or later and received by December 31 will be accepted with payment of the $75 late fee in addition to the application fee. Applications must reach the CCI office no later than December 31 of the recertification year.

Grace Period Policy for CRNFA Recertification


Late applications for recertification will be accepted for six months after the July 1 recertification application deadline with a $75 late fee fee added to the application fee. Applications must reach the CCI office no later than December 31 of the recertification year. This extended grace period is not an extension of the time allowed to accrue contact hours. If your application is received by December 31 with the $75 late fee, and you have met all the requirements for recertification, you will be recertified with no lapse in your certification status. Applications received after December 31 will be declared ineligible.

If you're recertifying with contact hours, please note that the extended application deadline is not an extension of the time allowed to accrue contact hours.
