- If an official has missed an update for two years, he or she may be reinstated to the previous level by attending a recognized update.
- If an official has missed an update for three or more years, he or she may be reinstated by passing the appropriate examination, i.e. Level 1 or 2 must pass the Level 1 exam, Level 3 or 4 must pass the level 3 exam.
