What is the implication of failing to receive notice of certification expiration?

Failing to receive notice of certification expiration has significant consequences, and one of those is the ongoing requirement for the certified shorthand reporter to renew their certification, regardless of whether they have received notification. This means that the responsibility for renewing the certification falls solely on the individual, and they cannot assume that their certification is automatically renewed or that they are exempt from any penalties associated with expiration.

It's important for certified shorthand reporters to be proactive about keeping track of their certification status. The absence of notice does not exempt them from the legal or professional obligations tied to maintaining their certification. Therefore, even without a reminder from the certifying body, reporters must take the initiative to ensure their credentials remain valid by following the established renewal process on time.
