Three steps:\n\n1. **Sign the Code of Conduct** — attest to all 10 points (see [[renomark-code-of-conduct-10-points-verbatim]]).\n2. **Upload documents** — a contract template, a warranty template, and an in-force Certificate of Liability Insurance.\n3. **Sign the RenoMark Licensing Agreement** governing logo use.\n\n**Annual renewal** requires an updated Certificate of Insurance; contract and warranty are not re-uploaded each year unless changed. CHBA holds the documents confidentially with access limited to *\"select CHBA staff.\"*\n\n**Sources:** hub.chba.ca/renomark-vs; Building Excellence Aug 28, 2024.\n\n**Confidence:** Verified.\n\n## Practical implications for renovator clients\n\n- Total time to complete verification ≈ **20 minutes** if contract, warranty, and certificate of insurance are ready.\n- The gate is local HBA membership first — see [[wrhba-renomark-program-overview]] for how WRHBA handles it.\n- A contractor who **says they are RenoMark but does not appear on renomark.ca** has either lapsed, been removed, or never completed verification.
