Renewing Your NRCan Photo ID for Certified EDO
New Electronic Payment System
The NDTCB has introduced an important update to its program for all users. An electronic payment system has been introduced to provide flexibility when applying for certification. Pre-authorized payment included with an application will still be processed. If payment is needed to process your application, you will receive a specific email from the NRCan NDTCB providing you with the appropriate payment link to our secure online payment system.
Once issued, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) National Non-Destructive Testing Certification Body (NDTCB) photo ID cards are valid for a period aligned with the validity of the CEDO certification card as issued by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Shortly before your ID card expiry date, you need to renew your identification.
If you hold valid certification with the NRCan NDTCB as an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer Operator or in one or more Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, you should have a valid NRCan NDTCB photo ID card for those certifications. In this case, you will not be required to renew your NRCan NDTCB photo ID card for EDO certification, as your NRCan NDTCB certification photo ID card will be sufficient proof of ID.
Application form and fees
To apply for renewal of your NRCan NDTCB photo ID card, complete the application form and return it with two (2) passport-style photographs and the $120 renewal fee.
