- 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 welding code and ICC reference list
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
