Renewal Requirements
Beginning the calendar year after certification is achieved, MIDs are required to pay a renewal fee and complete four continuing education credits by December 31 each year to remain active in the program. MID CE credits may be completed through NAMIC’s MID Virtual CE Package, at select NAMIC events, or through approved continuing education providers.
Annual Recertification Fee
The annual recertification fee is $50 per certified MID and can be paid by logging into your NAMIC.org account and navigating to the My Re-Certification page under the My Education tab.
If you are a company representative who would like to pay for multiple MID annual recertification fees at once, please follow these instructions: How To Pay Recertification Fees for People Within Your Company.
