Readmission
Previous members can apply for readmission at any time by completing an online application. Readmission cannot be guaranteed until your application has been assessed.
If a readmission application is received between 15 October and 31 December, payment for the next year’s membership is also made in advance. All fees are applicable at the time of application.
Please allow up to 35 business days to process your submitted application. If your membership ceased more than five years ago, or if you do not immediately satisfy the criteria for readmission, it will take longer. This is because your application will be considered on its merits by our Admissions Committee. If your documentation is incomplete, or we need additional documentation, this could also delay your verification time. You can review our supporting documents guide if you’re unsure about how to supply this essential information.
