Judges Certification
Judges certification is a big step in the USPCA and we are proud of our judges! See below forms for requirements of certification.
Before you begin the online application, please review the above requirements. Any applications received less than 60 days before the next National Board Meeting may be retained until the next meeting at the discretion of the Judges Chairman. Applications take time to process and research.
Applications for approval as a certified regional or national judge are submitted online!
**Please note: DO NOT attach JPEG files (pictures of forms taken with your cell phones) to your submission. These will no longer be accepted. They are too hard to read and print out. Attach PDF or scanned copies of paperwork only. Thanks in advance
