- Did you know CERF will now accept your registration forms electronically? You may fax your registration forms to 217-693-4801 or scan them into an email at CERF@vmdb.org.
- Can I submit an OFA eye exam for to CERF?
Since the exam data is the same, CERF will accept submissions recorded on OFA exam forms. However, so the owner’s intent is clear, CERF will require a signed note from the owner or authorized agent indicating they would like the exam results entered into the CERF database, and accompanying payment must be made to CERF. If a submission includes a check payable to OFA, the application will be returned.
- There seems to be some confusion out there.... we hope to clarify these questions:
- Will CERF still send a submission to OFA so you can qualify for your CHIC number?
Yes, CERF has not changed anything on our part. We still send a weekly submission to OFA so you can qualify for your CHIC number.
- What if I receive an OFA form at my exam but I still want to use CERF? CERF will accept OFA examination forms for registration as long as you make your intent clear that you are wanting that OFA form registered into the CERF database.
