Your WELL Rating must be renewed annually to ensure that your project consistently meets a high standard for health and safety, equity and/or performance. Upon renewal, you’ll receive an updated WELL Rating seal, helping to provide continual confidence and trust to all your stakeholders that your space has been maintaining the highest quality of health and safety, equity and/or performance.
To enroll your project for rating renewal, you must click the “Renew now” button in the Dashboard tab of your WELL account, confirm your locations through the Locations tab and pay the renewal fee no later than one year after the date on which the project was awarded its WELL Rating. If your project does not pay the enrollment fee before the expiry date, the project will be subject to a reactivation fee to complete the renewal process.
At renewal, you must note if there have been any changes relevant to the WELL strategies achieved since your project’s initial rating and provide documentation for any changes that would affect rating status. To be eligible for renewal, you must comply with ongoing reporting requirements.
Have there been changes to the WELL Rating since my project achieved the rating?
WELL Ratings undergo updates on a quarterly basis, typically to provide clarifications and new pathways for achievement of features. At the first renewal event following the initial rating, you may choose to have the project reviewed under the version of the WELL Rating under which it achieved its initial rating or to update to any subsequent version. You must update to the current version of the WELL Rating at every sixth renewal year.

Can I make changes to the WELL Rating features pursued during renewal?

However, you are welcome to add or remove features during the renewal process to reflect updated organizational goals. You’ll find more information on how to add or change features in the documentation section.
Can I add new locations to my WELL Rating achievement during renewal?
Yes, you can expand your portfolio by adding locations during the renewal process. To do so, confirm the number of locations to be added once you start your renewal process through your WELL account.
