Reinstate a Certificate of Authorization

This process only applies to former Certificate of Authorization holders of APEGS.

Reinstatement Process:

Option A. If your Certificate of Authorization (C of A) was revoked due to an ineligible or absent Official Representative and you are reinstating in the current calendar year, then a new Official Representative must be assigned and a full review of the CofA list will be conducted.

  1. The current Authorized Signing Officer and new Official Representative must complete and sign the CofA Reinstatement form and submit it via our Contact Us page. You are not required to pay any fees.
  2. You will receive the reinstatement letter and a new certificate at the end of the process.

Option B. If you resigned your Certificate of Authorization (C of A) and are reinstating it in the current calendar year, then you must pay the pro-rated annual fee for the remainder of the year.

  1. An Official Representative must contact APEGS via our Contact Us page to request the reinstatement.
  2. APEGS will invoice you the owing amount. The invoice will be sent via email.
  3. The Official Representative must complete and sign the CofA Reinstatement form and submit it in response to our email. You are not required to pay the 15% Reinstatement fee.
  4. Once all fees are paid, you will receive your official receipt (with seal) and reinstatement letter.

Option C. If you are reinstating your C of A in the same year it ended and your C of A ended because you did not pay your fees on time, the full annual fee plus the 15% Reinstatement fee must be paid.
