Yes, you can transfer your ISO certificate from one registrar to another, and it is pretty easy too. Read this post to find out the steps needed to transfer your ISO certificate to a different registrar.
Whatever motivates a company to get certified, the organization entrusts its certification body, or registrar, with monumental responsibility. If the registrar’s performance does not live up to expectations, companies can and should change registrars. The first thing you should know is that there are no fees for transferring your certificate.
The IAF defines transfer of certification as the “recognition of an existing and valid management system certification, granted by one accredited certification body, (your current CB), by another accredited certification body, (hereinafter referred to as the “accepting CB”) for the purpose of issuing its own certification.”
To begin with, identify the reasons of why you are unhappy with your current certification body. Some reasons for example, could be price or poor customer service. This in turn will help you make a better decision for a new certification partner.
