When do certificates expire?

The correct response indicates that the expiration of certificates is determined by a date defined by the Arizona Supreme Court’s Administrative Office of the Courts (ACJA). This regulatory structure ensures that all involved parties have a clear and uniform understanding of the timeline for certification validity, as opposed to arbitrary expiration dates set by individual certificate holders or general fixed terms. By having an official body specify the expiration date, it helps maintain standards for the legal document preparation profession and ensures that all practitioners keep their certification current and comply with any updates in regulation or required training resulting from changes in law or practice.
