| Diplomat StatusUpon satisfactory completion of the written and oral examination, the licensed professional counselor candidate will be awarded a certificate suitable for framing. The Diplomate status certificate attests to the fact that the recipient has met the necessary standards by the NBFE, and its peers, to act with a high degree of professional competence as a forensic mental health evaluator. NOTE: As of January 31, 2009, all Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluators will have an expiration date on their credential to verify that the certificant is in full compliance with the high standards of NBFE. By January 31 of each and every year, there is an annual review of the credentialed members current license, professional malpractice insurance as well as a determination that all essential matters are disclosed to the NBFE advisory board. This process will help protect the public from those who fraudulently profess to hold a valid certification from NBFE.
