Please complete the renewal application and submit it to AWS before your certification expiration date. The application may be submitted up to six months prior to the current expiration.
Please note that it is your responsibility to renew your certification before it expires. If you fail to renew before the expiration date, and you exceed the 60-day administrative extension period (from your expiration date) to renew, you will not be allowed to renew your certification. You will be required to test on all parts of the Welding Inspector exam to obtain certification.
To qualify, renewal applicants must attest to having no period of continuous inactivity greater than two years in inspection activities as defined in AWS QC1, Standard for AWS Certification of Welding Inspectors and AWS B5.1, Specification for the Qualification of Welding Inspectors, during the previous three years of certification.
Additionally, you must also provide a current Visual Acuity Record with your application. The Visual Acuity Record cannot be dated more than seven months prior to the expiration date of your current certification
Notarization :

CWI Upgrade :
Applicants whose scores on each part of the examination met the requirements of AWS QC1 for CWI level certification but did not meet the experience requirements of AWS B5.1 may request an upgrade from the Certified Associate Welding Inspector (CAWI) level to the Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) level once the experience requirements are met.
CAWI Status :
CAWIs are not eligible for renewal. A CAWI may only hold the CAWI certification for a three-year period. The CAWIs must meet the requirements of 6.2.2 of the QC1 standard in or before the third year of their CAWI certification.
Renewal and Upgrade Fees :
All checks and money orders should be made payable to AWS. Payment must accompany your application.
