Important NPMA Membership System Update

The NPMA membership management system, which also manages www.npma.org, is making updates to our platform. One change that will show up shortly is the creation of the Online Community, which will be a new feature on our website that allows for more online collaboration amongst our members. You will see the changes once you are logged in and are viewing your profile (My Profile). The update will roll out in the coming weeks.

If you have any questions, please email membership@npma.org.

Important NPMA Certification Renewal Updates

All NPMA certifications, Fleet and Property, expire every five years.

The new Certification Renewal Form, used by Fleet and Property and available now, will be required for use beginning January 1, 2021
. The eligibility requirements have changed slightly, so don’t wait until the last minute to submit the application and supporting documentation.

Applications for renewal submitted after the expiration grace period, will not be accepted and will require retesting to bring the credential up to date. Credentials will no longer fall back one level if not renewed. For example, a certificant who holds the CPPM credential and does not renew it, will not fall back to a CPPA, they will no longer be certified at any level.


The credential expiration date may be found on the certificate or in the certificant’s NPMA profile. Renew every five years and don’t wait to the last minute!

If you have any questions, please contact the NPMA National Office at certification@npma.org.
