If my certification expires, can I get it reinstated?
Yes. Indiana law gives operators a one-year grace period to reinstate their expired certification
without reexamination. The agency may reinstate the certification if the certified operator submits
payment of any current and past due fees and fulfills all continuing education credit requirements.
If the operator fails to renew a certificate for one year after the expiration date, the operator must
reapply and retest in accordance with IC 13-18-11-6.5(c) to become recertified.
Remember, once your certification expires, you are no longer certified, even while you are in the
one-year grace period. Operators in the grace period may not act in responsible charge of a
wastewater treatment facility, sign self-monitoring reports, or prepare reports under their expired
certification.
How do I maintain/renew my certification?
Certifications must be renewed every three years. All certifications expire on the last day of
June. There is a $30 renewal fee. IDEM will send a renewal notification at least thirty days prior to
the expiration of the certification card to the last known address on file.
To renew your certification, you must:
a. meet continuing education requirements,
b. submit a complete renewal application, including the renewal fee, on or before the There is a convenient online renewal option available May 1 through July 1 through the
Professional Licensing Agency at MyLicense.IN.gov. Details are available on the renewal notice
