Frequently asked questions

What is the CTC Tester ID on Zurfex?

It is the HD I/M Tester Identification Number printed on your CARB Credentialed Tester Certificate (bottom left). It is usually 8 characters: 2 letters followed by 6 numbers (for example EX123456).

Which date should I enter for expiration?

Enter the date under “Valid until” on the bottom right of your certificate — not the Date Issued. Credentials are valid for two years from issuance.

What file should I upload?

Upload a clear PDF or image of your full Credentialed Tester Certificate (Certificate of Completion) from your CTC-VIS account. Cropped IDs alone are not enough for review.
