The FY 2024-2025 Certified Interior Designer's renewal period is now closed. If you did not renew or apply for inactive status by November 30, 2024, your certificate was administratively revoked effective December 1st. If you are not sure of your status you may contact the board office.

If your certificate has been administratively revoked for failure to renew on a timely basis previously, please note the following:

1. As you are not currently certified in Kentucky this is reminder that in accordance with the Kentucky Revised Statues, specifically KRS 323.402, "No person shall use the title "Certified Interior Designer", the letters CID, or any acronym, abbreviation or title that would imply certification under this chapter unless the person at the time holds a valid certificate to use the title "Certified Interior Designer" in the Commonwealth of Kentucky as established under KRS 323.400 to 323.416 and 323.992.

2. To reinstate your Kentucky Certificate, you must contact the Board office.

Once you’ve earned your Kentucky architect license, you are required to obtain at least twelve (12) CEHs per year; and report these credits as a condition of license renewal per 201 KAR 19:087. Continuing education is post-licensure learning that enables a registered architect to increase or update knowledge of and competence in technical and professional subjects related to the practice of architecture to safeguard the public’s health, safety, and welfare.

Joey Nolasc​​o, a practicing Kentucky architect, and board member, encourages his fellow architects to explore the transformative benefits of the Code Administrators Association of Kentucky (CAAK) membership and their CEU workshops. He says, “The organization not only fulfills my HSW continuing education requirements but also serves as a vibrant hub for networking and knowledge exchange”.
