!Important!
If you are mailing an application and/or payment to the PO Box, PLEASE notify us via e-mail when it is sent. Most applicants prefer to email their applications and do online payments, so the PO Box is not checked regularly and this will delay your applications/renewal.
Any postal carrier is acceptable if the package can be tacked to prevent loss of payment. If you send a payment without a tracking number and it is lost, we cannot verify the payment was sent and you will have to send it again, with tracking. NADAI is not responsible for missing payments that were sent without tracking or notification.
The Official Standards documents list all requirements for our individual certifications.
