Membership Registration (New & Renewal)

Please read carefully before continuing. Most incomplete or incorrect registrations happen when one of the steps below is missed.

Step 1: Select Your Membership Plan

Before clicking Next, use the dropdown below to choose the membership plan you want.

• A membership plan is selected by default — verify that the plan name and price shown are correct
• Discounted or promotional plans are not selected automatically and must be chosen manually
• The membership plan selected here determines your fee and cannot be changed after payment

Step 2: Complete the Registration and Payment

After clicking Next, you will be guided through several screens to collect your membership information (such as name and address).

At the end of this process, you will reach the payment screen.

⚠️ Important:
On the payment screen, you will see an option to Print Invoice. Printing an invoice does not submit payment and does not activate your membership.

To complete your membership, you must scroll down and click the yellow “Buy Now” button and finish payment through PayPal.

• You do not need a PayPal account
• Look for the option to pay using a credit or debit card
• Your membership is not active until the Buy Now step is completed

Additional Information

• You may receive an automated email showing an amount due — this is not a receipt
• Your PayPal confirmation email is your receipt
• All membership prices include the 3% credit card processing fee
