Spring Renewal Process
Please Watch the Video Before You Begin Your Renewal
Renewal applications submitted or postmarked between January 2026 and March 31, 2026 will be charged the standard renewal fee. Applications submitted or postmarked from April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026 will be charged an additional processing fee.
Due to the high volume of applications received at the end of the renewal period, the Board cannot guarantee that credentials submitted or postmarked on or after April 1, 2026 will be renewed before the end of the month. To offset the increased administrative workload and system demands during this peak period, an enhanced processing fee will be charged for applications submitted or postmarked on or after April 1, 2026. Credential holders are strongly encouraged to renew early to avoid delays, additional fees, or a lapse in credential status.
Renewal applications submitted or postmarked after April 30, 2026 will require reinstatement and will be charged all applicable reinstatement fees. Applicants must complete a reinstatement application to regain credential status.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) Training
The Missouri Credentialing Board and Department of Mental Health are excited to offer WRAP trainings to our hard working professionals!
What is WRAP? For more than 25 years, this self-directed evidence based program has been used for anyone who wants to get well, stay well, or create the life they want—despite life’s challenges. WRAP includes recovery-focused books, tool, and materials, which has been used globally to support mental and behavioral health. With WRAP you will discover simple, safe, and effective tools to create and maintain wellness, develop a daily plan to stay on track with your life and wellness goals, and identify what throws you off track and develop a plan to keep moving forward.
Since everyone defines their own “wellness”, WRAP is individualized to each person and their situations. WRAP can help you achieve it, step by step, your way, and on your terms.
Levels of WRAP:
- Level 1 provides an overview of WRAP and equips a person with the basic information needed to complete their own WRAP plan. It is provided by a WRAP facilitator certified through the Copeland Center.
- Level 2 is for those who would like to become a WRAP facilitator. Extensive training is provided on WRAP as well as how to facilitate WRAP trainings, workshops and groups. NOTE: The pre-requisites for this training are to have completed Level 1, have a solid working knowledge of WRAP, have developed and used their own WRAP or assisted and supported another working on their WRAP.
The Level 1 trainings will be offered virtually. Your training materials will be mailed to you upon registration. Class size will be limited to 20 participants.
Level 2 trainings will be offered in person. You will receive your materials at the training location. Class size will be limited to 16 participants.

The Missouri Credentialing Board Launches Addiction Ministries Certification Program
The Missouri Credentialing Board (MCB) is proud to announce the launch of the Addition Ministries Certification Program in partnership with Ministry Studies Online. This new certification is designed for pastors, church leaders, lay ministers, youth leaders, volunteers, and anyone serving in a pastoral or church-based role who wants to better understand substance use and support individuals and families in their care.
Substance use issues affect individuals in every community, including our congregations. Faith-based leaders are often on the front lines, offering counsel, comfort, and practical support. This certification provides the knowledge and skills to:
- Recognize signs of substance use and related challenges.
- Respond with compassion and appropriate referrals.
- Integrate understanding of addiction into pastoral care and ministry outreach.
- Build stronger connections between churches, community resources, and recovery supports.
Certification matters because it:
- Demonstrates a commitment to high standards of care.
- Validates your training through a recognized credentialing body.
- Enhances credibility with community partners, social service agencies, and congregants seeking help.
Details about enrollment, training requirements, and certification timelines can be found on the MCB website, along with more information about the program. To explore the full range of courses offered through Ministry Studies Online, visit NPCA Credentialing — MinistryStudiesOnline.com

Remote proctoring is a new option for taking an IC&RC exam. Instead of going to a testing site, it allows you to use your own computer to take the exam while a proctor in a different location watches you via the camera on your computer. Besides not needing to travel to a testing site, another benefit of using a remote proctor is that proctors are available most any time of the day or night. In order to use this option, the computer you plan to use must be compatible with the proctoring program. This can and should be tested in advance before signing up for the remote proctoring option. However, if you do not take the appropriate steps to ensure the computer you will be using is reliable as well as compatible with the remote testing program, neither the MCB nor the IC&RC remote testing company (SMT) will be able to refund you for that test attempt if you experience technical issues during the exam. You will need to pay the $175 retesting fee to retake the exam.
The Missouri Credentialing Board offers a reinstatement period for any eligible MCB Professional who has let their credential(s) expire in the past 5 years from the current date. Please complete the attached reinstatement packet, appropriate fees and copies of all training certificates and submit to 515 East High Street, Suite 202, Jefferson City, Mo. 65101.
