Abstract
It is shown that the procedures for mass and charge renormalization developed by Dyson, Ward, and others for a covariant local field theory can be applied in the static or fixed source approximation where the interaction is nonlocal. Reasons are given to show that, although charge renormalization is not necessary in this case because the theory is not divergent, it is nevertheless a very sensible procedure.
