Exam Cancellation
Registrants who cancel their exam reservation date up to two days before the original reserved exam date may receive a refund for the exam registration fee minus the exam cancellation fee. Cancellation requests cannot be honoured within two days of the reserved exam date.
Exam Rescheduling
Registrants may reschedule their exam date to another day within the same exam window up to two days before the original reserved exam date at no charge.
IAPP members who wish to reschedule their exam date to another exam window may do so at no charge up to two days before the original reserved exam date. Non-members will be required to pay an exam rescheduling fee to IAPP. Registrants may reschedule their exam date to another window only once; subsequent requests will be denied and will require the full exam fee.
Please refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about exam cancellation and rescheduling.
Recertification
IAPP members may recertify at no charge, while non-members are required to remit a recertification fee. The initial recertification will be due the first 30 th June following two years after originally passing the exam. Subsequent recertification will be due every two years on 30th June of the reporting year. Recertification requirements along with the non-member renewal fee must be received within 30 days following the due date or a late recertification fee will apply. In the beginning of each year, notification letters are sent to those who are certified who are scheduled to report in that year. This reminder will advise them of their expected standing at the two year mark.
Please refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about recertification requirements.
Late Recertification
Those who do not meet the recertification requirements within 30 days of the appropriate due date may retain certification if a late recertification fee accompanies all other recertification requirements after 30 days past the due date, but within three months of the due date. If payment is not made within this time frame, the certification will be inactivated.
Please refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about late recertification requirements.
Inactivation/Reactivation
If recertification requirements and appropriate payment are not made within the three month time frame following the recertification due date, the recertification designation will be inactivated.
AP professionals may be considered for reactivation of their designation by submitting a request in writing within 90 days of inactivation. If the request is approved, the individual will be required to pay a reactivation fee and agree to comply with all recertification requirements.
Please refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about inactivation and reactivation policies.
Revocation/Reinstatement
IAPP’s Certification Council has the power to deny, suspend, refuse renewal, or revoke certification for anyone who is found guilty of violating the IAPP Code of Ethics, the qualification requirements, or the recertification requirements.
AP professionals may be considered for reinstatement of their designation by submitting a request in writing to the IAPP Certification Council within 30 days of revocation. If a reinstatement request is approved, the individual will be required to pay a reinstatement fee and agree to comply with all recertification requirements.
Please refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about revocation and reinstatement policies.
