USGBC updates LEED Certification Agreement for projects registered on/after April 28, 2025 (removes authority confirmation submissions)

USGBC/GBCI updated the LEED Certification Agreement requirements for LEED projects registered on/after April 28, 2025. The updated agreement removes the need to submit certain authority confirmation documents (e.g., Confirmation of Agent’s Authority and Confirmation of Primary Owner’s Authority). Projects registered before April 28, 2025 continue to follow prior additional requirements described in the Help Center article. Compliance teams should update internal registration/contracting checklists and document-control workflows to reflect the new agreement package and avoid requesting or submitting deprecated forms for newly registered projects.
