On November 3, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued an alert reminding stakeholders that, as of September 30, 2014, iCERT users needed to have updated their passwords to meet the new enhanced password security requirements. Accounts that were not updated with a new password within 15 days of receiving notification were deactivated. The alert includes instructions on reactivating iCERT accounts.

If your account has been deactivated and you wish to reactivate it, you will need to provide your secret question and answer pair via the iCERT portal. If you have forgotten your secret question and answer pair, please contact the iCERT Portal Help Desk to request a temporary password.

iCERT accounts are used for the filing of certain applications in support of temporary and permanent employment petitions by employers on behalf of foreign nationals; for example, Labor Condition Applications and Prevailing Wage Determination Applications.
