Has Your Certification Lapsed?

The process for returning to active CVT status depends on how long your MVTA membership and certification have been expired.

Lapsed for More Than One Year

If your membership and certification have lapsed for more than one year, contact the MVTA certification secretary for instructions and access to the online lapsed renewal form.

Renewal requires:

  • 12 continuing education credits per year
  • Applicable renewal fees
  • Applicable late fees

Lapsed for More Than Three Years

Individuals whose MVTA membership and CVT certification have lapsed for more than three years are not eligible for renewal.

Instead, a new certification application must be submitted, and applicants must meet all current MVTA certification requirements.
