Please be advised that all sections will no longer be required or asked to process individual certification retirement request forms. This will now be done directly at national. The certification application form has been revised and updated to instruct the applicant to send their application and payment directly to national to the attention of the recertification coordinator.

If you are a ASQ Certified professional who has retired, you may request a retired designation on your wallet card. Click on the ASQ website and click on certification. Scroll down to retirement form and click on this option to get a retirement application. You need Adobe Reader to see and print the form.
