When your CSCS card expires, it’s easy to renew via the My CSCS app as an individual cardholder or by logging into CSCS Online if you’re an employer, training provider or third party.
CSCS cards can only be renewed six months prior to, and up to a year after, the expiry date printed on the card.
It’s crucial to hold the correct card for your occupation, so if you’ve changed roles or gained a new qualification you may need to apply for a new card rather than renew an existing one.
Use the My CSCS app, Card Finder or the specific card pages on our website to confirm the appropriate card, as well as the qualification and health and safety test requirements, as scheme rules may have changed since you last applied.
Lost, stolen or broken CSCS cards can also be replaced via My CSCS or CSCS Online.
