Steps to Replace a Lost Certification Card

This page provides information to Section 608 certified technicians on how to replace a lost certification card. EPA does not issue certification cards and cannot 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.

3. Did you receive your certification from an organization that has gone out of business? Review to the list of certifying organizations that have closed.

  • If yes, contact us.
  • 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.
