Steps

For 3M: have at least one installer pass the hands-on 3M Preferred Graphics Installer competency test (administered via the UASG-run certification program) toward 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company status
For Avery Dennison: have the installer complete the Certified Wrap Installer (CWI) program's written exam plus hands-on hood/fender/door-window installation and cutting-test modules (no program fee)
Meet the shop-level requirements behind each brand's higher certification tier (documented install procedures, climate-controlled install environment, periodic audits for 3M's Certified company tier)
After installation, register the specific printer plus ink/media combination and job details through the applicable manufacturer's warranty registration process (3M MCS Warranty registration; Avery Dennison ICS/UWF registration) to activate coverage
Confirm no site visit or additional verification step is outstanding — 3M's digital-printing warranty registration path includes a required site visit — before considering registration complete

Known gotchas

Warranty coverage (3M MCS, Avery Dennison ICS Platinum) is void if a non-certified installer applies the material, or if the specific printer/ink combination used was never registered
Certification is tiered — an individual installer passing a hands-on test does not automatically make the whole shop 'Certified' at the company level
3M's warranty registration for digitally printed graphics is not complete on self-certification alone — it explicitly requires a follow-up site visit before registration is finalized
