Certificates
Candidates who successfully complete either the Certification or Recertification/MOC© process receive a 10-year time-limited certificate, subject to revocation by the ABAI for any cause. Names of ABAI diplomates are public information which is published by ABMS.
Beginning in 1989, new ABAI Diplomates receive certificates valid for ten years. Time unlimited certificates were issued prior to October 1, 1989.
Certificate Order Form
Upon successful completion of either the Certification or Recertification/MOCİ process, diplomates are awarded a certificate to demonstrate ABAI certification. The fee is waived for the initial certificate after passing the final exam.
Verification of Certificate
Verification of certification is available both in hard copy and electronically. Individuals are considered: Non-Applicants, Inactive Candidates, Active Candidates, or Certified Diplomates.
Suspension or Revocation of Certificates
According to ABAI policy, all ABAI certificates are subject to suspension or revocation based on a decision by the Conjoint Credentials Committee.
Appeals Process and Reinstatement of Certificates
Should a certificate be revoked or suspended, the ABAI affords the Diplomate an appeals process for review of that decision upon submission of a written request with supporting documentation to the Conjoint Credentials Committee.
