Most states do not require renewal / re-certification and consider certification valid for life. Ohio is the exception; there operator certifications expire in 4 years.

There is a lot of confusion about renewal because most certification providers only retain records for 5 years or less and tell people they must re-certify, some even say it is a requirement of regulations that you renew (it's not except in Ohio).

SunFocus keeps records of certification back to 1994 when we first started providing certification training. We provide replacement certificates for free, some other vendors charge $45 for a replacement copy.

If you do have to renew remember you get it at no charge with the SunFocus
Tanning Certification for Life ™ guarantee.
