*From January 2021 we have started the transition to the new Rainforest Alliance 2020 Certification Program. Existing partners can learn how to transition to the new program. If you would like to have certified products on the market in the first half of 2021, please register for one of the legacy certification programs (Rainforest Alliance or UTZ) by selecting the first option in the above form.

You can still register for the legacy programs until 30 April 2021, if you would like to receive an audit prior to 30 June 2021. After 30 April 2021, you will only be able to register for the new Rainforest Alliance Certification program.

If you decide to register or are already registered for a legacy program, your business will later be required to register in the new Multitrace system for the 2020 Certification Program.
