Like any important document, a lost CPR card can cause some serious headaches when your job requires it or when you need to renew your CPR certification. Having a thorough understanding of how to replace a CPR card can make the world of a difference when you need your card ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CPR card is a certification that indicates you\u2019ve completed a training course on how to properly perform CPR. It\u2019s incredibly important to have with you at all times \u2014 especially if your job requires CPR certification, so in the event that you lose it, being able to replace it right away is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to replace a lost CPR card, as well as three ways to prevent it from happening again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Steps for Replacing Your Lost CPR Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Losing your CPR card can definitely put you in panic mode, and unfortunately, even the best of us lose things sometimes. Keep these three steps in mind so you don\u2019t have to miss a beat if you ever find yourself needing to replace your lost CPR card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Double-Check You Haven\u2019t Misplaced It<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The first place to look for your lost CPR card is your wallet or purse. It’s easy for small cards like this to slip out of pockets or pouches, so make sure to check all of your compartments. If it’s not there, try retracing your steps to see if you left it at a previous location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, always keep important documents in a safe and memorable place to avoid losing them in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Contact the Issuing Agency<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Once you know you haven\u2019t misplaced your lost CPR card, consider contacting the organization where you were certified to see if they can issue a replacement card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The organization that issued your lost CPR card is the only place that can provide you with a replacement card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Pay Any Applicable Fees & Wait<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The fees to replace a lost CPR card can vary depending on the issuing organization, so you may have to pay a small fee to receive a new card. In some cases \u2014 especially if you did an online or blended CPR  course \u2014 you may be able to print it from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Finally, if you paid to receive a new card in the mail, all that\u2019s left to do is wait for your replacement card. Remember, it’s important to always have a valid CPR card with you when you’re trained in CPR. So, take these steps and you’ll be back on track in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3 Ways to Keep Your CPR Card Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Maybe you\u2019ve dealt with a lost CPR card before, or maybe you\u2019ve recently completed CPR certification and you want to take precautionary steps to keep your card safe. Start with these three steps to protect your CPR card:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Invest in a good quality wallet or card holder. <\/strong>You don’t want to fold it up or stuff it in your pocket where it can easily get lost or damaged. Designating a safe and easily accessible spot for it ensures you know where your card is at all times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Go digital<\/strong>. Store a digital copy of your CPR card on your phone or computer. That way, if you ever lose the physical copy, you’ll have a backup. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Update your CPR card right away if you move.<\/strong> You don’t want to be caught in an emergency situation with an outdated card. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          It\u2019s important to keep your CPR card with you \u2014 either physically or digitally \u2014 so that you\u2019re prepared for any emergencies. Likewise, it’s important to enroll in a CPR certification course with a legitimate organization so you have easy access to your certified card at all times,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
