Applicants applying for the following services are given 12 months to meet the requirements of an order:

Orders will expire within 12 months if:
- Applicant is not registered to take the CGFNS Qualifying Exam® for the Certification Program
- A Credentials Evaluation Service report has not been issued

If a paid-in-full application expires, an applicant has up to 12 months to apply for a reprocess (another 12 months on that application) and fully pay the reprocess fee. Only one reprocess application is accepted after an initial application expires.
An applicant does not qualify for reprocess if the order is not paid in full, or if fees paid were applied to
previous services, and the initial application order expires. A new application must be submitted and
paid in full to have 12 months to process the application and complete all the requirements. The subsequent
12 months begins when we receive the new application.
