🏛 Registry Renewal

Maintaining Active Registry Status

The NHMEC Professional Registry requires annual renewal in order to maintain active status.

Renewal ensures that registered members remain engaged in continuing education, ethical accountability, and responsible representation of their credentials.

Registry recognition is not permanent without renewal.

🌿 Annual Renewal Requirement

Registry members must renew annually by:

✔ Completing 12 Continuing Education (CE) hours
✔ Submitting CE documentation
✔ Affirming continued compliance with the Code of Ethics
✔ Remaining in good standing
✔ Paying any applicable renewal fee (if required)

Renewal confirmation will be issued after review.

🌿 Renewal Timeline

Registry renewal is due once per calendar year from the original registry approval date.

Members will receive reminder notification prior to renewal deadline when possible.

It is the responsibility of the registry member to track renewal timing.

🌿 Continuing Education Verification

For renewal, members must submit:

• CE Log Summary
• Course Titles Completed
• Dates of Completion
• Total Hours Earned

NHMEC reserves the right to request additional documentation if necessary.

🌿 Ethical Affirmation

Renewal requires confirmation that the member:

☐ Continues to practice within lawful educational scope
☐ Has not misrepresented credentials
☐ Remains in compliance with NHMEC policies
☐ Agrees to ongoing CE requirements

Failure to maintain ethical standards may result in denial of renewal.

🌿 Active vs. Inactive Status

Active Status

• All CE hours current
• Renewal approved
• Listed in Registry Directory
• Authorized to use Registered designation

Inactive Status

• CE deficiency
• Missed renewal
• Policy non-compliance

Inactive members:

• Are removed from public directory
• May not represent themselves as actively registered
• Must complete renewal requirements for reinstatement

🌿 Reinstatement

Registry members placed on inactive status may apply for reinstatement by:

• Completing outstanding CE hours
• Submitting required documentation
• Paying applicable reinstatement fees (if required)

Reinstatement is subject to review.

🌿 Failure to Renew

Failure to renew within a reasonable grace period may result in registry lapse.

NHMEC reserves the right to require reapplication for extended lapses.

🌿 Registry Integrity

Renewal standards exist to:

• Preserve institutional credibility
• Encourage ongoing learning
• Maintain ethical accountability
• Protect public trust

Registry is a stewardship — not a lifetime entitlement.
