Replacement and Revised Certificates

6018 - Replacement and Revised Certificates (Rev. 230; Issued: 07-11-25; Effective: 07-11-25; Implementation: 07-11-25) Replacement certificate means an active CLIA certificate that is reissued with no changes made. Revised certificate means an active CLIA certificate that is reissued with changes to one or more fields displayed on the certificate, such as the laboratory’s name, address, laboratory director, or approved specialties/subspecialties. For purposes of 42 CFR 493, revised certificates do not include the issuance, renewal, change in certificate type, or reinstatement of a terminated certificate with a gap in service. If a laboratory requests a replacement or a revised certificate, the SA will process the request and the replacement or revised certificate will be issued once the appropriate fees are paid.
