RECERTIFICATION
US Soccer gives Referees a 3 Year Window to recertify. Referees need to recertify every year to stay a LICENSED Referee.
If you are Licensed in 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) - your License expires 12/31/2026
2027 License Year (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) - your License will expire 12/31/2027
To Register:
You need to be Logged into your US Soccer Learning Center Account
- Click on MENU/Courses at Top of the Screen
- Click on Available Courses
- Click on Recertifying Referee
- Click on Go to Course List
Course is done all online. Courses are offered monthly. Badges are mailed after the month ends and come from Official Sports (takes 3 weeks).
To find the Assignments, log in to the Learning Center, click on “COURSES” at top, then ‘MY COURSES”, then “Resume/Go to Course Page” and scroll over to header “ASSIGNMENTS” to complete online requirements. Once the requirement has been completed, it will show as SATISFACTORY.
If all Assignments are not completed by the course deadline, your registration will be automatically transferred to the next available Recertifying Referee Course unless we are in May (once we hit June we can no longer transfer you).
