The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Certified Information Privacy Professional/US. Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.
Note from the vendor record: Current Body of Knowledge is Version 2.6.1 (approved 3 March 2025, effective 1 Sept. 2025, supersedes 2.6); the BoK is reviewed annually and changes are communicated to candidates at least 90 days before they appear on the exam. Scoring wording changed: IAPP now converts raw scores to a scale of 100 to 500 with a cut score of 300, so the older '700 or above' figure should not be used. No prerequisites; CIPP/US is ANAB-accredited under ISO 17024:2012. Two-year certification term requiring 20 hours of CPE per certification over the term plus a USD250 Certification Maintenance Fee (or IAPP membership, USD295 annually) — note the policy states 20 CPE per two-year term, not 20 per year.
