…reinstatement may be requested via this form. Please note the following policies with regards to a request for reinstatement when certification has been revoked for failure to pay membership dues on time:
- All reinstatement requests must be submitted via email to certification@rid.org.
- The application will not be reviewed before payment is submitted. Upon receipt of completed application with all supporting documentation attached, the Certification Department will email instructions for submitting the payment online through your member portal.
- Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. The effective reinstatement date will be the date the completed application is received.
- Reinstatement is handled by the Certification department. For questions, please contact Certification at certification@rid.org or 703-838-0030, option 6.
- The processing time is 7-10 business days for reinstatement requests. (Note that RID’s processing time does not affect the “effective date”, which is the date that all of the requirements for reinstatement are received.)
- The application must be signed and notarized.
- Certifications can only be reinstated for a period of up to 24 months from the date of revocation.
- There is no cap on availability of reinstatement, however reinstatement will not be awarded consecutively (two years in a row).
- Reinstatement of certification will result in the member’s certification cycle resuming. CEUs earned as a requirement for member’s reinstatement will not count toward the certification cycle, nor will CEUs earned while the member is not currently certified count toward the cycle requirement. If the member is reinstated after the end of their certification cycle, they will be given until the end of the calendar year they are reinstated in to complete their CEU requirements for that cycle.
- Member must pay lapsed certified dues, plus processing fee to be considered for reinstatement. The processing fee is non-refundable.
