How long to receive the USFA mebership card and key FOB?

[jdavies]

I sent my membership application and payment in on Aug 1. I can see that they have me listed in their current membership listings at usfencing.org. I have a competition coming up in mid October so I wanted to have the card on me (although I'm fencing at my home club and they know I'm a member).

How long does it normally take to get your ID card? Thanks in advance!

Got ours just yesterday!

Seems like I got mine a couple weeks or less after initial (re)enrollment. When I sent an email requesting a division change, I received the new stuff in less than a week.

Regardless, tourney folk can look up your name on the usfa website to verify enrollment. Wouldn't hurt to print that page, but I doubt it'd be a problem at the tourney.


Oh. btw. Good luck in the tournament! :-)

I sent in my application and payment (via snail mail) on 8/17 and got my card last week. I think my card showed up 2-3 weeks after my name showed up on the website.

As long as you have the membership number, I wouldn't be worried about actually having the card.

You can now print out your membership "card" online on your own printer through the USFA website.

good luck dealing with those incompetent bureaucrats it can take forever.

While I can't speak for all bureaucrats I got a very timely response from Ms. Dana Brown, director of member services. I emailed her 2 days before my competition and she emailed me within hours with a nice officious letter that stated that I'm a member in good standing and provided the membership number.

It took me less than 5 minutes to register and print out my card.
