Your DTR recertification, punched.
A DTR (or NDTR) recertifies every 5 years through CDR's Professional Development Portfolio: 50 CPEUs, done by May 31 of the last year. Put in your cycle end date, punch in your CPEUs, and put the date on your calendar. Free, no sign-up, and it all stays on this phone.

Keep it safe
Everything here lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Keep your CPEU certificates for two years past the end of the cycle. Back it up before you switch phones or clear your browser.
How to renew
- Step 1: Learning Plan. Build it in the Competency Plan Builder in MyCDR. It stays active for later cycles.
- Step 2: Activity Log. Record at least 50 CPEUs, including 1 in ethics or health equity, all completed by May 31 of the last year of your cycle.
- Optional midpoint review. With 30 to 49 CPEUs recorded, you can ask CDR to review your log once, by 11:59 PM CT on November 30 of the year before your cycle ends.
- Submit by June 30. Submit the Activity Log, then complete Step 3: Self-Assessment right after. Once submitted, the log can't be changed.
- Pay the $70 fee every year by August 31. CDR emails the payment link in early June; pay online or by mail.
- Keep your documentation for at least two years after the cycle ends in case of an audit.
- Licensed in Florida too? Your LD/N license has its own dates and hours: the Dietitian Renewal Card.
| Fee (CDR registration maintenance) | DTR, NDTR |
|---|---|
| Registration maintenance, every year (due August 31) | $70 |
| Paid September 1 to 30 ($50 late fee) | $120 total |
The DTR fee has no increase scheduled for June 1, 2027. All fees: CDR's registration maintenance page.
If you miss the dates
- Activity Log not in by June 30: CDR says "their credential will lapse effective September 1 of the same year." To get it back you retake and pass the registration exam.
- Yearly fee not paid by August 31: $50 late fee in September. Not paid by September 30: the credential lapses October 1 and registered status ends.
- Dropped for an unpaid fee? CDR lists two ways back: pass the exam again, or pay the reinstatement fee for each year plus all past fees, if your recertification is up to date.
