When will I receive my new wallet card?
If you have an existing wallet card, you will receive a new card upon the first submission of new training. Others will receive a card upon successful completion of a level, skills assessment test, Instructor Certification Training Program (ICTP), or Assessment Center personnel training for coordinators or proctors.

What is different about the new wallet card?
In the past wallet cards were issued each time an individual had a new entry into the National Registry, resulting in the issuance of multiple cards. Individuals will now be issued one wallet card when the initial credential is obtained and will be able to track his/her training accomplishments online via the Automated National Registry.

I have certified-plus completions, will I still get a new wallet card?
Yes. The certified-plus wallet card is a different color and Certified-Plus is designated on the front of the card. Only one card will be issued, but all training completions will be viewable on the ANR.

Is my current wallet card still valid?
Yes.

What if I don't have an NCCER card number?
Starting January 1, 2007, the NCCER card number will appear on National Registry credentials. While training will still be reported using the social security number (SSN), all NCCER documents generated from the National Registry will have the NCCER card number indicated on the wallet card and official transcript; the SSN will no longer appear on any credentials generated from the National Registry.
