Qualification Exam Windows Extended for Individuals in Areas Affected by the California Wildfires

FINRA, the MSRB, NASAA and NFA have extended qualification exam windows for individuals in areas affected by the California wildfires. Impacted individuals in these areas with exam windows that expired since the fires began or are due to expire on or before Feb. 16, have been extended to March 16, 2025. If you were unable to test prior to Feb. 16, 2025, due to impacts from the wildfires, please call FINRA’s Support Center at (301) 590-6500 to request assistance.

These extensions were implemented to assist individuals who may have significant difficulty taking a scheduled qualification exam within their assigned exam windows due to area power outages, network unavailability and property damage.

Please contact FINRA’s Support Center with any questions: (301) 590-6500.
