Credential Issuance and Revocation Policy

DRAFT — pending owner review. This text has not been adopted and is not legal advice.

Issuance

  • Level 0 is issued automatically when a candidate passes the online Level 0 test.
  • Levels 1–5 are issued by an NPSA administrator after the candidate completes the corresponding examination.
  • Each credential receives a unique number in the format NPSA-{level}-{number}. Numbers are never reused.

Validity

Credentials are valid for three years from the examination or issue date. Expired credentials remain in the registry and are shown as expired.

Revocation

NPSA may revoke a credential that was issued in error or obtained through misconduct. Revoked credentials are never deleted: the registry keeps the record and verification shows it as revoked, with a public note where appropriate.

Corrections

Holders may request correction of their name or display details via the contact page.
