Learn about the process and prepare a membership inquiry to FEDREC-USA.
Signed F-INC-01 + F-INC-02 + F-INC-03, with the documents for your category. The web inquiry does not replace these forms.
The Federation brings together different experiences and ways to contribute. The applicable category is determined through institutional verification.
Ordinary applications cover Veteran, Honorary Reservist, Family member, and Professional or Partner. Applicants must be over eighteen and satisfy the requirements. Founder status derives from the Founding Act; Honorary status requires a Board proposal and Assembly appointment.
Submit signed F-INC-01, F-INC-02 and F-INC-03 together with the documents for your category. No file is opened without all three signed forms. References are requested when appropriate; interviews follow the category-specific rule. This web form provides guidance only and does not receive application files.
The process includes application, verification of requirements, institutional review, decision and formalization. Preparing an application or emailing it does not result in automatic approval.
Yes. Assistance follows objective need criteria and program availability, without requiring membership or payment of dues.

The approved financial rules distinguish admission from ongoing support. Payment does not purchase admission and is not required for application evaluation.
Membership Manual, Art. 36–44 and 73–80. The site does not process payments.
Exempt from the admission contribution and support dues. Voluntary donations are recorded separately.
CSI exemption during formal service in office, according to the resolution or record. This does not automatically waive the initial contribution or extend to an entire chapter.
A temporary CSI exemption of three, six or up to twelve months may be requested. A documented decision and confidential handling are required; the member’s dignity is protected.
Arrears do not cause automatic loss of membership. Notice, an opportunity to regularize payments and consideration of an exemption are provided. Essential information must be updated at least annually; withdrawal is formally communicated.
These three steps prepare a guidance inquiry by email. They do not replace Official Application F-INC-01 or open a file. Download and sign the official forms to begin the documented procedure.
Interviews are required for Veteran, Honorary Reservist, and Professional or Partner. They are also required for Family members unless the Committee grants a reasoned waiver when the relationship is with an active member in good standing. References are conditional.
Identity is verified without transcribing document numbers. Supporting documents are submitted only through the confidential channel designated by the Secretariat.
The National Board decides; the Committee may decide only under formal delegation. With delegation, three eligible, conflict-free members form the quorum and decisions require a majority of those present. Ties go to the Board.
Additional information: 60 calendar days, extendable once for the same period upon a reasoned request. Non-approval: reconsideration within 30 calendar days of notification.
Applicant under verification is not a category and grants no voting or representation rights. Approval may remain pending activation until the contribution or exemption, National Registration and induction are completed. Administrative status does not create new categories.
Official code: FEDREC-[REGIONAL]-[CATEGORY]-[NUMBER]. Categories: FUN, VET, RDH, FAM, ALI and HON. Assigned by the Secretariat, unique and never reused. Each eligible person has one vote only.
Dues: 30-day grace period without automatic suspension; days 31–60, payment pending; days 61–90, in arrears; after 90 days, possible administrative suspension of conditional rights, with notice and an opportunity to regularize or request exemption. Debt alone does not terminate membership. Update essential details at least annually.
