Re-Certification Process

About 12 weeks before the expiration date on your SORA card, you should be getting notification from the NJSP Private Detective Unit to apply for renewal. This renewal notification will go to the e-mail address listed on your initial website application.  E-mail will be the only notification process; there will not be any other notification method.
 
The renewal class is 8 hours, as opposed to the initial 24 hr course.
If you don't renew before your SORA certification expires, you'll have to re-apply for SORA certification and go though the initial process again ($75 application fee, 24 hours of training, etc.)  We recommend you apply for re-certification 4 to 6 weeks before your current certification expires (check your card for the expiration date).
 
In order to apply for recertification, you'll need to log on to the NJSP website and enter your USER ID and PASSWORD. If your employer registered you originally, he or she can help you with this process. If you are not with that employer any more, you have two options: either contact that employer for the log on information, or click on the FORGOT MY USER ID link and then the FORGOT MY PASSWORD link.
 
Once you fill out the renewal application and pay the fee, you will be issued a new application number. Either print that screen/page or write that number down, as there will NOT be a new certificate.  This new application number is good from the day you apply until the expiration date on your current certification, whether it’s 6 weeks, or 2 weeks, or 5 days.
 
Once you've done that, you can go to www.afitraining.com to schedule your 8 hour recertification class. AFI's re-certification classes will be either one full day or two 4 hour sessions, depending on scheduling needs. Schedules will be posted elsewhere on this website.

We're looking forward to seeing you again.

Cordially,
