Introduction
The Florida Certification Board has launched a new on-line certification management system. This system allows
applicants and certified professionals to conduct many certification operations on-line. The purpose of this tutorial is to
provide certified professionals with a step-by-step guide on how to pay renewal fees electronically.
There are three sections to this document:
1. How to renew and pay for one credential
2. How to renew and pay for additional credentials
3. How to complete an interrupted renewal and payment process (for persons who start, but do not complete, the
renewal and payment process in one sitting.)
This tutorial assumes that the user has already registered in the system and has received an email notification that their
account has been approved by the FCB. If you are not already registered and approved in the system, please complete
that process before attempting to renew on-line. A separate tutorial on how to register is posted on the FCB website
under Training and Tutorials at this link: http://flcertificationboard.org/resources/training-and-tutorials/
Please note: The FCB took “live” screen shots to build this tutorial. All confidential information has been redacted. You
will not see black text boxes on the screen when you renew your personal credentials.
