Steps For Replacing a Lost Section 608 Technician Certification Card

Additional Information
  • Section 608 Technician Certification Requirements

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.
