This page provides information to Section 608 certified technicians on how to replace a lost certification card.

1. Is your testing organization that issued your certification still in business? Check the list of certifying organizations that are still operating.
   • If yes, contact that organization and get a replacement card. The organization is required to maintain records of cards it issues.
   • If no, go to Step 2.
2. Do you have documentation from your original testing organization that demonstrates successful completion of the Section 608 technician certification exam? Do you or a current or former employer have a copy of your lost card?
   • If yes, send a copy of your documentation to one of the organizations identified in the box below. The organization will issue you a new card and maintain a record of your certification.
   • If no, go to Step 3.

   • If no, go to Step 4.
4. If you cannot answer “yes” to any of the steps above, neither EPA nor a certified testing organization will be able to issue a replacement card. You will need to retake the Section 608 certification test. Please go to the Section 608 Technician Certification programs page to find testing organizations which meet your needs.
