RECERTIFY FOR 2025
Are you a returning official who certified in either 2023 or 2024? It's time to renew your certification for 2025! The entire process is conducted online via the US Soccer Learning Center. Remember to renew your certification sooner than later to secure early-season game assignments.
Download the step-by-step instructions below for assistance with recertifying for 2024:
STEP ONE
BEFORE YOU START
You will need to have an account on the US Soccer Leaning Center (USSLC). In order to connect this new account to your prior registration information, you will need your USSF ID number.
If you don't have your USSLC number, access the instructions above for information on how to obtain it.
​
If you have your USSLC number but don't have an account set-up, you'll need to create one on the U.S. Soccer Website.
​
You will also need to know your prior U.S. Soccer Referee grade. In almost everybody’s case, this will be Grassroots.
STEP TWO
REQUIRED COURSES
There are three required safety certifications for all U.S. Soccer and Futsal Officials. They are:
-
Introduction to Safe and Healthy Playing Environments
-
NSIC Backround Check
-
SafeSport
These courses will be included in the assignments for all U.S. Soccer certifications. Completion of the course on one certification will carry over to other certifications… for example, if you certify as a referee and then certify as an assignor, Safety Certifications completed for your referee license will be carried over to the requirements for the assignor certification and not need to be repeated.
STEP THREE
REFEREE
Go to Courses > Available Courses and select Recertifying Referees from the left side menu. Register for the 2025 MNSRC/US Soccer Online Re-Certification. Go to My Courses > Go to Classroom > Assignments and view your compliance assignment (depending on your age). You must complete any assignment not shown in green. The bottom of the screen will have your Referee License assignments.
Please reference the instruction links above for additional details.
​
Upon completion of all assignments the USSLC will automatically approve your license. Badges will be mailed within four weeks of licensure.
