Steps
Ask the consultant for their exact DHI credential type and ID and cross-check the designation against DHI's current credential program list on dhi.org.
Confirm which track the credential belongs to: DHI certifications (AHC, EHC, CFDAI) require renewal with continuing education on a recurring cycle, while DHI certificates (DHIA, DHT, DHC) are one-time awards with no renewal requirement.
Match the credential to project scope — DHC is a prerequisite/pathway certificate toward the AHC certification, not an advanced credential beyond it, and no DHI credential substitutes for a jurisdiction-required professional stamp.
For renewal-track certifications (AHC, EHC, CFDAI), confirm the credential is active and continuing-education renewal is current; one-time certificates like DHC/DHT have no CEU standing to check.
Document the verification in the project file before relying on the consultant's code-compliance sign-off.
Known gotchas
DHI's credential lineup has changed over time — designations like CDC and AOC appear in older references but are not on DHI's current program page; verify against dhi.org's live list rather than a legacy reference.
A DHI credential is a professional competency certification, not a legal license, and does not substitute for a jurisdiction-required professional stamp where one is required.
Credential abbreviations are easy to confuse (AHC vs. DHC vs. DHT) — verify the exact designation rather than assuming equivalence.
