The 10-year Recertification Training & Testing will be available starting on January 1, 2023

Available to all medical examiners who
have been certified for at least 9 years


Past or Currently Due Recertification

Regardless of 2023 expiration date, all MEs will have a full year to complete the required recertification training and pass the certification test.

This will not impact their ability to perform physical qualification examinations and use the National Registry system.

Those who do not complete the training and certification test by December 31, 2023, will be removed from the National Registry.

The table below explains how much extra time you will receive to complete the training and testing based on the month in which your National Registry certification expires.
