How do I find out if all my certifications are in the region database?

First, go to the OVR Certification Database page and type in your last name, using your last name that you had at the time of certification. OVR requires that all members use their legal first and last name at all times. (Never use your nickname on any OVR documentation.)

If you see your certifications, but they don't show on your membership record, see What do I do if my certification does not show up on my membership record?

If you do not see your certifications, see How to I get my certification added to my membership record?

How to I get my certification added to my membership record?

IMPACT certifications obtained through an OVR regional/local clinic are added to the regional certification database at the time the IMPACT certificate is emailed to the coach.

If you obtained your IMPACT certificate through another region clinic, you need to send by mail or email attachment (preferred) a copy of the certificate along with the New/Replacement Coaching Certification Form to the Director of Coaching Education. Only when the certificate is matched to the membership record are you permitted to coach in matches.

If you obtained your IMPACT certificate through an online IMPACT Webinar clinic, you need to send by mail or email attachment (preferred) a copy of the certificate you received from USAV along with the New/Replacement Coaching Certification Form to the Director of Coaching Education. Only when the certificate is matched to the membership record are you permitted to coach in matches.

My name has legally been changed. How do I get my membership and certifications updated?

If your last name has legally changed and it is now different than the last name you had at the time a coaching certification was entered into the regional database for you, you need to contact the Director of Coaching Education to have the last name updated. The coach must personally request by phone or email the name change. Requests made by club director or other personnel will not be honored. Only the one named on the certificate has the right to request their name be changed.
