Frequently asked questions about revalidation

The following pages provide answers to some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about revalidation. They are not exhaustive. If you have other questions, please see our contact us page.

It is important to remember that the revalidation process is still being developed and some things may change as we learn more through consultation and piloting. This means that there are some questions for which we do not yet have definitive answers. We will continue to periodically update these questions and answers as the process is developed.
