Maintaining Your Credential—At A Glance

Yearly Fee

In order to retain your credential, you need to pay a yearly, registration maintenance fee. Fees are billed every June with a August 31st due date. You may pay $70 for RDs/$350 at the beginning of your five year cycle, $60 for DTRs/$300 at the beginning of your five year cycle.

If you do not pay your registration fee by August 31st, your credential is expired and cannot be verified. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics membership and their dues are separate and distinct from registration with CDR.
