• Verification of Certification may now be completed online with immediate feedback via e-mail or fax, for a nominal fee through Credentials Inc.
  • Newly Certified: Please do not submit requests for verification of certification prior to receiving your exam score report by mail. Verification results become available through Credentials Inc. 10 business days after the date of examination. Refunds will not be issued for verifications submitted early.
  • Beware of Fraudulent Certification: The number of people misrepresenting their certification status has significantly increased over the years. Misrepresentation has occurred in a variety of ways. Individuals have improperly obtained ASCP Member ID cards or certificates of qualification from ASCP certified individuals, made copies and changed the name to their own. This copy is then used to obtain employment in a higher level job. In some cases, individuals have modified their own Member ID card to indicate a higher level of certification.
    
    When hiring laboratory professionals do not accept copies of certificates or Member ID cards. Ask to see the original. If in doubt, certification should be verified through online verification of certification. The individual’s certification category, certification number and date of certification will be provided by e-mail or fax.
    
    Protect the integrity of your ASCP credentials and your own certification record by not loaning your certificate or Member ID card to another individual. Individuals who misrepresent or misuse their certification status will be barred from future certification in any category and any current certification may be revoked.
