Congratulations again on your amazing accomplishment!
You’ve worked very hard for this day and now you must plan ahead to make sure you maintain your Core Registered Paralegal™ (CRP™) credentials by:
- Completing 8 Continuing Legal Education ("CLE") credits every 2 years.
- Of those 8 credits, at least 2 must be on ethics and/or DEI topics.
- You can use NFPA's own CLEs, or use CLEs from a variety of other sources.
- Make sure your CLEs qualify!
NFPA will send you several reminders about when your credential is up for renewal, but it is ultimately your responsibility to renew on time.
It is also your responsibility to notify NFPA of any changes to your contact information within 30 days of a change by updating your profile on the NFPA website. This is to ensure that NFPA can contact you with information impacting your credentials.

Being a CRP™ does not necessarily mean that you are an NFPA member. NFPA members pay annual membership dues to NFPA, or one of its member associations, and receive member benefits, which include discounts on certification renewals and CLEs, access to members only content, participation in discussion boards, etc. Membership and certification/credential renewal are two entirely separate and unique things. If you are interested in NFPA membership, please send your questions to membership@paralegals.org.
