Can I have an extension on the time needed for my renewal of certification?

Both chaplains and CPE supervisors can be granted a one-year extension on their renewal of certification, up to two extensions. Note that an extension is given for one year only. If there is need for an additional year, then the person needs to make that request in writing in the designated time frame.

You must send a written request to the NACC national office prior to the expiration date. Failure to request an extension in writing in the appropriate time frame will mean loss of certification.

Note: The Board of Directors of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains recommended the following extension fees at their October 2010 meeting. For 2011, the first renewal of certification extension fee is $100. For 2011, the second renewal of certification extension fee is $200.
