Converting the certification to a lifetime designation eliminates the need to renew the certification every five years through the Certification Maintenance program and resets the certification expiration date to lifetime. Candidates whose certification is suspended or expired must bring their certification to good standing before lifetime certification is granted.
-
Lifetime certification is not an automated process. Certificants must notify ASCM in writing at support@ascm.org for each certification they wish to place in lifetime status. The certificant must have an active certification and provide proof of age with their request (driver’s license, birth certificate or passport). There is no fee for this status change. Once approved, candidates are no longer required to maintain the designation.
