Failure to Recertify:
LPCertified carries a commitment and a responsibility as well as a designation. Those failing to renew their certification commitments at the end of their three year recertification cycle will no longer be considered LPCertified.
Implications:
Former Certificants must not use the LPC designation in any professional communications, such as on letterhead, stationery, business cards, in directory listings, and in signature. Click Here to view our Code of Ethics.
Late 30 days or Under:
Certificants who are 30 days or under late to recertify, (Track 1 or 2) can take advantage of our grace period. All the certificant need do is to meet their respective requirements within the 30 day grace period.
Please view our Recertification Process page on what needs to be accomplished before the grace period ends!

Regain Credential With CEUs
Late 1 Year or Under:
The LPF recognizes that LPCertified certificants may find themselves in unusual circumstances such that they can’t recertify on time. The LPF offers those former certificants a way to regain their LPCertified credential without having to re-earn it by exam.
To qualify for recertification by CEUs, the former certificant must be no more than 1 year late to recertify. If they are over one year late, they must recertify by exam.
The certificant must re-establish certification by having submitted or by submitting all of the following:
- recertification application form.
- recertification CEU processing fee of $125 (if applicable).
- 60 CEUs.
Then the certificant must re-establish certification by submitting:
- the certification restoration application form.
- recertification late fee of $90.
In addition:
- if the certification lapse is over the grace period, but not over 6 months, the applicant must submit 4 additional CEUs.
- if the certification lapse is over 6 months, but not over 12 months, the applicant must submit 8 additional CEUs.

*Additional Notes:
- Save the $125 recertification CEU processing fee by being a Loss Prevention Foundation member all three years of the recertification cycle and earn 5 CEUs per year for being a member. Lifetime and Charter members need never pay this processing fee and earn 5 CEUs each and every year.
- Lapsed Credential Holders do not pay a late CEU processing fee with their recertification CEUs as that is included in the lapse process fee.
- Please be prepared to review CEU activity and retained proof with the LPF.
