ACAMS Recertification | ACAMS (original) (raw)

Is it time for you to recertify?

To keep your certification(s) current for 2025, the recertification process must be completed by December 15, 2024. Check the below chart to see if your certification(s) will expire. If your certifications have expired already and you would like to seek recertification, please contact us.

Don’t Let Your Certification Disappear

Having an ACAMS designation after your name exemplifies your expertise and opens professional doors. All of our certified professionals need to recertify periodically to maintain their designation and show their commitment to professional development.

ACAMS holds records of every certified member, so employers can confirm the credentials of future employees. If you chose not to recertify:

• You can no longer use your ACAMS designation.
• If you want to become certified again in the future, you will need to reapply and retake the certification exam.

Recertifying with ACAMS is quick and easy. You need to:

FAQs

I hold multiple ACAMS certifications at the same level, which ones do I need to recertify?

• If you hold more than one associate-level certifications, you must meet the recertification requirements for each of them.
• If you hold more than one specialist-level certification (CAMS/CGSS/CCAS/CAFS) you need to recertify each certification separately.
• If you hold more than one advanced specialist-level certification, you only need to recertify the advanced certification you achieved most recently.
