Utah Certified Clerk State Certification
The UMCA Utah Certified Clerk State Certification ("UCC") program is designed to prepare clerks and recorders in the state of Utah for the challenges of the complex role of a municipal clerk. The UCC State Certification is a rigorous designation earned by completing various educational and professional development opportunities. An affordable option compared to a CMC or MMC designation, obtaining the UMCA state certification is a great option for clerks looking to add to their resumes. This certification program is available through UMCAs partnership with Southern Utah University (SUU).
