Important Notice Effective January 1, 2012
Beginning January 1, 2012, the NBCOT will no longer present newly certified or recertifying credential holders a paper certificate or wallet card. In place of the paper certificate and wallet card each credential holder will receive a certification card. The certification card is made of plastic and is the size of a credit card. The card can easily be kept in your wallet or purse for easy verification for employment.
The certification card will have your color photo, and all pertinent information to your current certification.
It is the hope of the NBCOT that by moving to a certification card this will reduce the possibility of forged certificates and identity theft of your credential (s).
