# When should I start the recertification process?

The recertification process can take a bit of time, so it is important to reach out to [support@communitydoulaprogram.org](mailto:support@communitydoulaprogram.org) around **9 months before your certification is expected to expire**. Please note that after submission, it typically takes 60-90 days for the application to be processed and returned.
