Existing Auditor Recognition Guide

Note

Existing Auditor Recognition is available from 24 June 2026 to 27 August 2026.

IAQG Authentication offers the Existing Auditor Recognition process allowing currently authenticated third-party auditors (with AA or AEA designations) to remain eligible to conduct audits under the IAQG Certification Scheme.

Here’s how it works:

1. Beginning 24 June 2026, log into the IAQG Training & Authentication Dashboard using the same account previously used to complete the Aerospace Auditor Transition Training (AATT) course.
2. Click the prominent option to “Apply Now” for Existing Auditor Recognition, or click on the “Recognition” link in the top menu.
3. Follow the step-by-step process:
   1. Provide your OIN (OASIS Identification Number) and either your OASIS User ID or the email address associated with your OASIS account. This will link your OIN with IAQG Authentication.
   2. Select the active authentications you wish to have recognized by IAQG Authentication.
   3. Agree to the IAQG Authentication legal terms and conditions.
   4. Agree to the IAQG Code of Conduct.
   5. Enter the billing address IAQG Authentication should use to send invoices for Annual Maintenance Fees.
   6. Pay any Annual Maintenance Fees for authentications that will expire either a) during the Recognition Window or b) within 80 days after the end of the recognition window.
4. Once payment is received, or if no Annual Maintenance Fees are due for now, the application will be processed within 2 weeks of the end of the Existing Auditor Recognition window, and the new authentication status will be reflected in OASIS.

In general, this Recognition Process should take only a few minutes, assuming auditors can log into their IAQG Training account and know their OASIS account details. Please see below for important clarifications on the above points.
