The current Renewal Policy is as follows. Those who registered on or after January 8, 2024 are subject to this policy.
As of January 8, 2024, all candidates applying for registration with the NEB must pay the initial NEB application fee of $780.00. This fee covers NEB registration for a three-year period beginning on the date of payment. To remain active in the program, candidates must renew at the end of the three-year period by paying the $520.00 renewal fee which covers an additional two years of registration. Registration and renewal fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Any fees associated with the NEB process are subject to change. Candidates may renew twice for a total of seven years, during which the entire exam sequence must be completed. Candidates will be notified 60 days prior to their renewal end date by email that further payment is due to remain active in the process.
...
At any time, a candidate wishing to cease participation in the NEB process and wanting to permanently close their file must fill out the NEB File Closure Request on their NEB Candidate portal. Should candidates, who had closed a file, decide to re-register with the NEB, they will have to wait two years, from the date the file was closed, to submit a new registration application.
Please note that the renewal fee payment policy changed on January 8, 2024. Those registered before January 8, 2024 are subject to the policy below.
As of January 1, 2016, the initial NEB application fee is $500. The initial registration fee covers NEB registration for the first two years. After the initial two year period NEB candidates will have to pay an annual fee of $250 until completion of all NEB exams. If a candidate lets their file expire after two years and does not pay the annual renewal fee of $250 at that point and decides to continue with the exams at a later date, the annual fees that were not paid will be collected retroactively before a candidate is able to resume taking NEB exams. For more information on NEB fees see Schedule of Fees.
