If you don't follow this accurately, your renewal could be invalidated.

1. Your CSLP Certificate lists your expiration date. (Each January, we send an audit showing your issue and expiration dates, along with other information)
2. You will begin receiving renewal notices 45 days before your CSLP expiration. It's highly recommended that you renew when you receive the first notice.
3. Expired certifications will be charged a late fee. No grace period is allowed.
4. Pay the renewal fee
5. Receive email notice (check spam) with exam invitation with 20-25 questions; multiple retakes allowed. It's an open book—no Proctor. 
6. After you pass, you will receive a request to update your license # and expiration (your financial license). Your certificate and renewal will NOT BE COMPLETE until this is submitted, resulting in an expired certificate.
7. After the license has been submitted, your certification will be updated with a notice that explains how to download your certificate.
8. Make a note of your expiration date on your business calendar.
