VERIFY BACB CERTIFICATION

The BACB offers several resources for verifying information about its certificants.

BACB Certificant Registry

The online BACB Certificant Registry is the primary resource for quickly and easily verifying an individual’s certification status, and determining whether they have reportable disciplinary actions associated with their certification. The BACB Certificant Registry is updated daily.

For information on individuals misrepresenting themselves as BACB certificants, visit the Falsified Credentials page.

Verification Letter

You may also view and print an on-demand verification letter in your BACB portal account. After logging in, navigate to the My Certification tab and select Print Verification Report. Please note that this verification report is only available with an active certification and will not be available if your certification has expired.

If you prefer written verification of a current certificant’s status, you may request a verification letter from the BACB for a $25 fee per verification (Note: If you do not have a BACB portal account, you must create one to pay the fee). Verification letters include the following information from certificant registries:

• certificant name and certification number
• confirmation of current certification status
• if the certificant is inactive, the reason for their inactive status (i.e., voluntary inactive status, not supervised, disciplinary actions as described on the disciplinary actions page); please note that verification letters are not provided for certifications that are expired.
• initial certification date
• certification expiration date

Verification letters are emailed within 3-5 business days after the BACB receives payment of $25 per letter.
