RECERTIFY FOR 2026
Are you a returning official who certified in 2024 or 2025? Renew your certification for 2026 now! 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.
​
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 RECERTIFICATION
Go to Courses > Available Courses and select Recertifying Referees from the left side menu. Register for the 2026 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.
