A certification fee of $25.00 must accompany an application for certification as Senior Mapper. Checks should be made out to "Treasurer , N.C.P.M.A." and mailed with the application to the chair of the certification committee. Applications for Senior Mapper must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the Senior Mapper exam date.

Once having been certified as a Senior Mapper, a person retains that certification so long as he or she is a member in good standing of the North Carolina Property Mappers Association and is employed by an agency of local or state government and for a period of two years after such employment ends. If a certified person is not employed by an agency of local or state government for more than two years, the certification lapses, and such person must seek re-certification if he or she is again employed in a mapping position by a governmental agency. For re-certification, mappers must take and pass the examination.

Senior Mappers will be awarded distinctive certificates signed by the president of the NCPMA and the chairman of the Certification Board and a recognition pin.
