Failure to complete CE by the expiration date triggers a $75 late fee. Seven days after expiration the certificant is marked 'not certified' and may no longer use the CFP marks. If requirements remain unmet 90 days after expiration, the certificant is deemed to have relinquished the right to use the CFP marks; continued use is treated as unauthorized use.Verify with board
