FIELD NOTE 01

Record the governing dates

Use the credential record and official International Code Council account—not memory—to track expiration and the earliest renewal window.

  • Credential issue and expiration dates
  • Renewal opening and deadline
  • Documentation submission date
  • Payment confirmation

FIELD NOTE 02

Verify the current renewal method

Renewal may involve an application, fee, work or education documentation, examination, or recertification step. The official policy controls.

  • ICC exam catalog listing
  • adopted building code
  • current steel and bolting references named by ICC

FIELD NOTE 03

Maintain an audit-ready file

Keep legible records as activities occur rather than reconstructing them near the deadline.

  • Certificates and transcripts
  • Employment or inspection records
  • Application correspondence
  • Receipts and approval notices
