Verification Before Certification

Automatic Approval
Once the payment is successfully verified, the pending membership application is approved automatically.
Member ID Generated
A unique sequence-based Member ID is assigned to the approved member together with the applicable membership issue date.
Certificate Available
A personalized digital Certificate of Membership is generated and made available for immediate download.
