Annual Renewal

To maintain your ARRT certification and registration, you must renew your credential(s) every year. Renewal is quick and easy through your online account. 

When you renew, you must be in compliance with the ARRT Rules and Regulations the ARRT Standards of Ethics, and, if applicable, Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR). 

Renewal Timing

Your renewal deadline is always 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the last day of your birth month. 

For your first renewal:

  • After earning your first ARRT credential, you’ll be certified and registered through the end of your next birth month.
  • Exception: If your birth month ends less than two months after you earn your first credential, your certification and registration will extend until the end of your birth month in the following year. 

Biennial CE 

Every other year, you’ll report continuing education (CE) activities when you complete the renewal process. This two-year period is called your CE biennium. 

Important to understand: While the deadline to report CE is the last day of your birth month—the same day as your renewal deadline—your deadline for completing your CE activities comes before. Check your dashboard to view your biennium deadline.

How to Renew 

  • When your renewal window opens, a Renew Now button will appear on your dashboard. 
  • Complete renewal through your online account using a credit or debit card. 
  • If you opt in to email reminders, we’ll notify you via email and Message Center two months before your birth month. 
  • Even if you opt out, you’re responsible for renewing on time. 
  • After renewal, your account will show your updated status within a few days.
  • If you don’t complete the renewal process, your credential(s) will be discontinued. 

Renewal Fees

The annual renewal fee is $65, regardless of the number of credentials you hold or whether you earned an ARRT credential using a supporting credential from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) or the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS).
