Reinstate a Supervisor Certificate

Step 1.Read Standards and Requirements

Make sure to review what work is allowed under each certificate type, the minimum experience required in order to apply for the certificate, and whether passing an ICC exam is required.

• Within one year of expiration, the certificate may be reissued without a new application.
• If the certificate holder reapplies within 3 years of the date of expiration, a new certificate application is required, but not a new exam.
• If the certificate holder reapplies more than 3 years after expiration, a new certificate application, new notarized letters of experience, and a new exam will be required (if an exam is required for that certificate type).

Step 2.Complete Application

Fill out the supervisor certificate application(PDF, 184KB). Be sure to write the full title of the specific certificate you are applying for on the title line, not just “Supervisor.” Note: Illegible or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Step 3.Compile Notarized Letters 

Gather notarized letters of experience that document how you meet the minimum experience needed for that certificate type. These letters must come from owners or officers of current or previous employers, or clients who have hired you to do work. If you are the owner of the company, you must go to previous employers or clients who you have done work for, as you cannot be your own reference.

Notarized letters should be in the following format:

• Original notarized letters. 

• If a company is verifying your experience, the letter should be typed on company stationary.

• List exact duties, projects performed and equipment operated.

• List exact start and end dates (month and year) of construction work only for each project. Projects should have been completed within the last 10 years. Use the following format: Start Date: MM/YY, End Date: MM/YY.

• List the address for each project mentioned. 

• Include letters from previous or present employers or customers who have hired you to do the type of work covered by that certificate. 

• Do not submit letters from other officers / members of your own company or your subcontractors.

• Submit as many notarized letters as needed to document that you meet the minimum experience requirements.

• Make copies of your notarized letters for your records. 

Step 4.Submit by Mail

After completing the above steps, compile the required documents (based on the length of expiration) and payment and mail them to:
