Announced
Apr 28, 2025
Implementation
Apr 28, 2025
Description
Per the official LEED Certification Agreement Help Center article, projects registered on or after 2025-04-28 are no longer required to submit the ‘Confirmation of Agent’s Authority’ or ‘Confirmation of Primary Owner’s Authority’ forms as part of the LEED certification administrative process. Projects registered before that date remain subject to additional authority/change-of-owner documentation requirements. Compliance teams administering LEED registrations should update onboarding checklists and ensure legacy projects still meet the older submission requirements to avoid certification review delays.
