Renewal of certification.
Operative Text
A certification of an individual or a firm issued under this Article expires on the last day of the 12th month after the certification is issued. A certification may be renewed by paying the renewal fee and meeting any standards for renewal, such as refresher training, established by the Commission. (1997-523, s. 1.)
Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-453.06, certifications issued to individuals or firms under this Article have a fixed lifespan, expiring at the end of the 12th month following the date of issuance. Renewal is available by paying the applicable renewal fee and satisfying any standards the Commission has established, which may include refresher training. The provision sets out a straightforward renewal framework rather than an automatic continuation of certification status.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who rely on certified individuals or firms for regulated work covered by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-453.06 generally verify that any certification held by those parties remains current and has not lapsed at the 12-month mark. Compliant operators typically confirm that contractors or staff have paid renewal fees and completed any Commission-required refresher training before engaging them for covered work. Keeping records of certification expiration dates helps ensure that no regulated activity is performed under an expired credential.

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-453.06 establishes that certifications for individuals and firms working under this Article are time-limited, expiring after 12 months unless properly renewed. Tenants who have concerns about whether a contractor or firm performing regulated work in their home holds a valid, current certification may inquire with the relevant state Commission about the status of that certification. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what recourse may be available if work was performed by someone whose certification had lapsed.
