Important information regarding the LCADC/CADC.

The LCADC and CADC are under the authority of the Division of Consumer Affairs, Department of Law and Public Safety.

All complaints, comments and questions regarding the LCADC/CADC should go to the DCA, not the Certification Board.

Cut-off dates for submission of Initial Applications
Initial Applications for certification need to be reviewed and the Board needs time to perform its due-diligence duty, therefore we have established cut-off dates for submission of Initial Applications, and those dates are as follows:

  • February 1 – for the March Board Meeting
  • May 1 – for the June Board Meeting
  • August 1 – for the September Board Meeting
  • November 1 – for the December Board Meeting

Fees:
We have increased our fees to cover increases in expenses and decreases in state aid. Our new fee schedule is:

    1. Initial Application: $225
    2. Recertification Application: $225
    3. Application Late Fee:$ 15 per month

    We are working to update our forms, but applications will only be accepted with the above fees included as directed.

Important notice regarding receipt of information: the Certification Board requires a “Return Receipt” (the green post card from the Post Office) to be used by the applicant to verify receipt of all information. The Board will NOT respond to phone or email inquiries regarding receipt of documents, because the card will have a signature and the date the documents were received by the Certification Board.

All documents are available in the Adobe Acrobat™ PDF format.

You will need the LATEST version of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program installed on your computer.
