MBE Certification
For New York & Northern New Jersey
MBE certification verifies that an enterprise is minority owned and operated.
The National Minority Supplier Development Council recently launched its online certification and re-certification platform called NMSDC Hub. Effectively immediately, NMSDC will oversee New York & New Jersey MSDC certification and re-certification. You can access the information here or via direct emails you have received from their team.
The new NMSDC certification process recognizes those businesses that apply for certification and meet the eligibility criteria. Getting certified begins with gaining an understanding of the certification criteria and gathering the necessary information and documentation to complete the application. A dedicated team of certification specialists will review your application and work with you should you have any questions.
You can learn more and reach out to their team on this transition website.
