When your CSCS card expires, it’s easy to renew by logging in to your CSCS Online account.

CSCS cards can only be renewed six months prior to, and up to six months after, the expiry date printed on the card.

In all cases, you must advise CSCS if you have changed occupation since your existing card was issued.

Lost, stolen or broken CSCS cards can also be replaced via our online application service or the My CSCS app.

On expiry, the following cards must be applied for as new card applications

Previously, Academically Qualified Person cards were issued with broader term qualification categories on the reverse of the card, for example “Project Support Function related Degree”. This process has changed to now show the title of qualification (degree, HND, HNC etc) on the reverse of the card, for example “Quantity Surveying Degree”.

As a result, CSCS will require a copy of the qualification certificate each time the CSCS Academically Qualified Person card is applied for.

For the CSCS Professionally Qualified Person card, applicants are required to provide evidence of their current membership with their Professional Body each time they apply. This is necessary because memberships are subject to renewal.
