                All fees are non-refundable.  They do NOT guarantee granting of a credential.  They are application processing fees.  There is a $40.00 fee for checks that are returned to the Board.  Upon becoming certified, you may purchase a national certificate from ICRC/AODA for $48.00 for a two-year period for all reciprocal credentials.  Replacement certificates are $15.00 for local (including wallet cards) certificates.  Update stickers will be provided once you recertify.  You should apply it to your existing certificate.

                Written examinations will be administered four times yearly and case presentation examinations twice annually (April and October).  You will be notified of the date, time and location as well as other pertinent information once your application has been deemed eligible.  All applications must have a seal from the Board on the facesheet or you will be charged for the price of the application upon submission in addition to your processing fees. All eligibility requirements must be met at the time of submission of an application.  Applications will be kept active for one year from the date of receipt after which time an applicant must apply again as a new applicant with a new application and fees.

                It is strongly suggested that you keep copies of all materials you send to the Board.  There are situations where items are misplaced or do not arrive through the mails.  We depend on the applicant to provide a back up with copies if there are difficulties. The Board requires original documentation of trainings and transcripts must be mailed directly from the school to the Board office.  If you send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and one set of copies of our certificates we will return your originals to you.  If you are in a clinical position, you should begin preparation for the advanced credentials.

                Recertification applications are mailed to counselors approximately 90 days in advance.  Should you lose the application there is a $20.00 shipping and handling fee for a replacement.
