Am I required to recertify by examination?

No, as of 2022, IBCLCs are no longer required to recertify by examination every ten years.

IBCLCs are required to recertify every five years to maintain their credential. IBCLCs now have the option to recertify by examination OR to recertify by CERPs with the Continuing Education Self-Assessment for each five-year recertification cycle.  Learn more here.
