I, ________________________________________________________________ attest and affirm that I am the applicant named in this application.
I have read and completed
the contents thereof and all information provided in connection with this application is true, accurate and correct.
I understand, agree to and acknowledge all of the following:
The American Academy of Certified Forensic Counselors (AACFC) is the Certification Commission of the National Association of Forensic Counselors (NAFC), herein collectively
referred to as “NAFC”.
“NAFC Membership” refers to any NAFC issued certification; non-certified Membership and In-Service designation. “NAFC Member” refers to a professional who has been issued
and holds active and in good standing NAFC Membership.
I am required to abide by the NAFC Terms of Membership which is comprised of, but not limited to the: Candidate Handbook, Application Attestation (or Application Affidavit
where NAFC Membership was applied for and obtained by an NAFC Member prior to the elimination of the requirement of a notarized signature on this form)
and Code of Conduct, Policies and Procedures, Request for Renewal and/or Reinstatement Attestation, Terms of Use of the NAFC Logo, NAFC Fee Schedule, Renewal and/o
Reinstatement requirements and NAFC Membership requirements.
New and/or existing NAFC Terms of Membership may be implemented and/or revised at any time without notice. It is my sole responsibility to stay apprised of the
Membership. I am subject to the most recent revision of the NAFC Terms of Membership, to include those that may be implemented in the future. All
are available for download
from the NAFC website at www.Nationalafc.com or hard copies may be obtained upon receipt of my written request to the NAFC.
I fully and voluntarily agree to hold the NAFC, AACFC and all past, current and future: Board Members, Directors, Trustees, Committee Members, Commission Members, Officers,
Agents, Staff, Contractual Employees, Presenters, Examiners, and all other persons and/or entities acting as Representatives as granted by the NAFC,
harmless and free from all civil liability for any and all forms of: damages, complaints, actions, sanctions, resulting repercussions, determinations, outcomes and/or consequences
by reason of any action that is within the scope and arising out of the performance of duties in connection with any application, NAFC Membership, renewal or reinstatement
request, the attendant examinations and the grades with respect to any examination, failure of the NAFC to issue or grant NAFC Membership, as well as
action(s) and/or determination(s) that may be taken or made by all the aforementioned.
Providing erroneous information of any kind for any reason to the NAFC constitutes a violation of the NAFC Terms of Membership.
I am required to report to the NAFC within 30 calendar days of my notification should I be the subject of or am otherwise directly or indirectly involved in any formal
criminal: charge, complaint, investigation, inquiries, arrest, action, conviction, sanction, professionally related civil and/or legal litigation and/or investigation, disciplinary action
and/or any other form of criminal or civil proceeding relating to any allegation of criminal conduct, civil violation, state and/or federal regulatory board violation
related allegation of misconduct and any other form of criminal or civil action or proceeding not listed within the NAFC Terms of Membership initiated or brought by any
state and/or or local authority/agency, professionally related private agency/organization, client, colleague or any member of the public. I am required to keep the NAFC
on a monthly basis of the most current status of any and all of the aforementioned and submit copies of all public documents related to such to include, but not limited to:
actions, judgments, sanctions, determinations and/or any other form of outcome.
Holding active and good standing professional state licensure/state mandated certification is mandatory in order to maintain NAFC Membership, unless I am
according to the NAFC Membership Requirements. I am required to report within 30 days of my notification any formal complaint, charge
, investigation and/or any change of
status of my professional state licensure/state mandated certification. Revocation or suspension of my professional state licensure/state mandated certification will result in the
same against my NAFC Membership.
I am required to submit to proceedings and comply with all directives given by the NAFC in connection with any alleged violation of the NAFC Terms of Membership.
Information obtained by any means whatsoever by the NAFC indicating one or more possible violations of the NAFC Terms of Membership will result in the NAFC initiating
investigation or Formal Complaint on its own. Civil and/or legal action beyond sanctioning of an NAFC Membership may be taken if, in its judgment, it determines that such
egregious violation(s) occurred that taking such action is in the best interest of the NAFC, its Certification Commission, any entity or person acting on its
and/or the public.
The NAFC may use information in connection with my application, renewal or reinstatement request or any other information collected for non-
identifying research and statistical
purposes.
All NAFC issued certificates and wallet cards remain the property of the NAFC and I am required to return all to the NAFC
, to include any and all copies thereof, within fourteen
(14) calendar days upon demand for any reason.
I am required to notify the NAFC within 30 calendar days of any change of name, address, contact phone numbers, e-mail address and any other inf
ormation maintained by the
NAFC in connection with the NAFC Membership issued to me.
The abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, to include the abuse of prescription drugs, is unacceptable and I shall not engage in such behavior.
Failure to fully comply with the NAFC Terms of Membership, to include all within this Application Attestation, in whole or part, constitutes grounds for immediate denial of my
application, renewal or reinstatement request and/or sanctioning of my NAFC Membership, to include the nullification of any and all benefits resulting
appropriate by the NAFC.
I have read and fully understand the NAFC Terms of Membership.
