URM will contact you with a reminder approximately a month before you have to recertify. You will then be required to pay an application fee again and complete a new application form.
This is due to the questions being periodically updated and so may be different from the previous year.
It is a good idea to keep a copy of your answers when you submit, to enable you to cut and paste the relevant parts from your previous submission.
This was a useful information gathering exercise for us.
