Annual Certification and Exempt Registration Renewal Fees Due by May 31

Annual renewal fees for certified individuals and exempt registrants are due by May 31, 2025. Alternative Fuels Safety (AFS) has mailed renewal notices to licensed companies for all current employees or the individual’s alternate address if they are not currently employed by a licensed company.

If an individual or their company did not receive a renewal letter, you can fill out this document for certifications or this document for exempt registrations and submit it with the online payment receipt to renew the certification. Individuals should verify that their employer has not paid their renewal fee prior to submitting, as payments are non-refundable.

Certified individuals should verify their continuing education (CE) requirements prior to submitting as well. The individual’s CE Due Date is listed on their certification card. AFS cannot renew certifications for individuals who are ineligible.

For fastest processing, email the document and the online payment receipt to AFS_Card_Renewal@rrc.texas.gov.

Annual renewal fees are as follows:

• $35: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane)
• $25: Compressed Natural Gas
• $25: Liquefied Natural Gas
• $20: Exempt Registrants (M/J Plumbers and ACR Contractors)

A $20 late fee must be paid if the renewal is not received on or before May 31st for each renewal type.

Renewal payments may be made through the Railroad Commission’s online payment portal. Note that paying online does not complete the renewal process. To complete the renewal, individuals must email the payment receipt and the information in this certification document or this exempt registration document to AFS_Card_Renewal@rrc.texas.gov.

For questions, contact the RRC’s Alternative Fuels Training Center at 
AFS_Card_Renewal@rrc.texas.gov or 512-463-2682.

Due to the high volume of card renewals, AFS is not able to provide a status update on renewal submissions.
