Registration password: nursery

Click here to upload your government issued photo ID prior to the meeting

We will NOT be checking photo-IDs within the actual session this time around (to better protect your information). However, you will still need to be visible on screen to acquire recertification credits.

Upload directions: If you click on the photo ID upload link using a smart phone/tablet you will have the option of simply taking a photo of your ID and uploading it directly into the system. Otherwise, you can scan a copy of your photo ID into a computer and follow the directions at the upload link. If you are unable to upload documentation prior to the meeting, don’t worry, we are here to help; Tim Waller will work with you to verify your identity for NJDEP recertification credit purposes using the attendance roster to contact individuals that are seeking credits.

Please note: the file upload goes to a secure Rutgers folder and no one other than the session host (Tim Waller) can view. Also, if you upload your information for the September meeting and plan to attend an October meeting, you will not need to upload your information again (good for 60 days).
