VERIFICATION PROCESS To ensure the SHRM certification program’s integrity, SHRM conducts random verification reviews of completed recertification records. If your record is selected, you must verify your activities and PDCs with documentation. It is recommended that you keep your records for six months after your recertification cycle ends. Failure to comply with a verification review may result in the revocation of your SHRM certification.
