Portability & Global Verification Requests | The United States Registry of Exercise Professionals

Portability is the international recognition and transfer of qualified credentials into ICREPS member-country Registers. If you are seeking work overseas, your certification may be portable. To register with an international ICREPs country, you will need to provide a letter of portability from USREPS to verify that your qualification(s) meets current registration requirements in the United States.

To be eligible for a letter of portability you must:

Have a current certification from one of the USREPS Member Organizations - view eligible credentials here.
Be able to provide proof of hands-on training or education - i.e. completion of academic degree courses that include applied theory with lab, internships, completion of continuing education courses or workshops that provide hands-on experience, or six months documented work experience.

As an exercise professional, it is your responsibility to meet any additional, specific criteria of the Register where you intend to gain employment. While each country has specific requirements, USREPS provides the foundation for registration within the majority of ICREPs’ registers. A full list of Registers can be found here. Of note, qualification for registration does not replace the need to abide by a country’s visa and immigration laws.

A portability letter will be recognized for provisional registration in ICREPs member countries to enable you to apply for full registration. There is no fee to submit a request for portability.
