The MBE Certification Period is 3 years. To avoid lateness,
MBEs must Recertify prior to their Certification Expiration
Date. A notification to Recertify will be sent to the Business'
Primary Contact during the Quarter in which the Business'
MBE Certification is scheduled to expire.
If you fail complete the MBE Recertification Application, your
MBE Certification will become Inactive.
There is no fee for completing an MBE Recertification.
Recertification Process:
To complete the Recertification Process, MBEs should:
- Login to the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity portal (wisdp.wi.gov)

- Current business financials (i.e., profit and loss statement or balance sheet - 1 document)
- For out of state businesses: upload documentation of home state MBE certification

After Submitting Your Recertification:
